UK economy contracts in final months of 2012

UK economy contracts in final months of 2012
Britain’s economy shrank 0.3 per cent in the final quarter of last year, increasing the likelihood it would slide into a “triple-dip” recession and piling pressure on the coalition government.

The economy, which has essentially stagnated for 2½ years, pulled out of its shallow double-dip recession in the third quarter of the year but contracted again in the fourth quarter by more than the 0.1 per cent economists had expected.
