The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) released its estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.K. on Tuesday. The GDP estimate rose by 0.4% in three months to April, after a 0.3% growth in three months to March.
The NIESR said that the weak economic growth in the first quarter was temporary, and it expects the U.K. economy to expand at 2.5% this year.
