LONDON (Reuters) – British finance minister Jeremy Hunt said the country’s economy was “likely to get worse before it gets better” after figures on Monday showed a bounce-back in growth in October but the weakest three-month performance since early 2021.

Hunt also told the BBC he did not know whether inflation had peaked or not.
