mpc: 11 The preliminary estimate of 2006 Q1 GDP growth in the United Kingdom was 0.6%. While this outturn was slightly weaker than had been expected at the time of the February Inflation Report, the level of GDP in Q1 was 2.2% higher than a year earlier and this had been in line with the February Inflation Report projections. The quarterly growth rate of GDP had been unchanged between 2005 Q4 and 2006 Q1, but the composition of that growth had changed. The manufacturing and energy sectors had rebounded sharply in Q1, while service sector output growth had slowed.
