The UK is now one of the fastest growing western economies.<\/p>\n

The UK’s economy remains 0.6% smaller than its peak in early 2008, but analysts now expect this milestone to have been passed when the ONS publishes its estimate of second quarter GDP in July.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a long time coming but hopefully the economy can now sustain decent growth for an extended period,” he added.<\/p>\n

He also revised up slightly his forecast for UK economic growth to 3.1% for 2014.<\/p>\n
