    Tut Tut Tut don't know where you are getting your figures from but suspect you are bending them to suit your inadequate argument.
    To get a average one adds the individual by country growth rate and then divide by No of countries, suspect this is what you have done.
    To get a true figure you need to add total GDP of said countries Say 3rd quarter 2018 v 3rd quarter 2017 that will give you a true comparison.
    Eg Malta showing a growth rate of 3.6% Germany show a growth rate of -0.2% your method add these two together =3.4% divide by 2 = 1.7%.
    Get real only a fool would work figures out like this. Malta GDP means naff all in the scheme of things.

    Thats why I didn’t. I’m actually a mathematician but thanks for the lesson in sums.

    It was 4Q data to be fair

    You never disappoint.

    You will be banging two stones together at the mouth of a cave, still insisting Brexit was a good idea.

    Brexit delivers a shuddering blow to UK economic data Chancellor tries to put on brave face as ONS releases unexpectedly poor figures FT Chris Giles, Economics Editor FEBRUARY 11, 2019 397 For more than two years, Brexit has dominated British politics, but has often been quite hard to spot in the economic data. That came to an end on Monday. With four consecutive quarters of declining business investment, 2018 recording the lowest annual growth rate of the economy since the financial crisis of 2009 and a slump in output last December of 0.4 per cent, the effects of Brexit were stamped all over the national accounts data published by the Office for National Statistics. Economists have been calculating the Brexit effect on the economy for more than a year and most agree that it has cost Britain between 1.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent of gross domestic product. The lower figure comes from a comparison of growth since the 2016 EU referendum and previous forecasts based on a Remain victory. The higher figure arises from a comparison of Britain’s economic performance and other comparable countries that in the past have given similar figures. The Resolution Foundation on Monday estimated that higher inflation and lower growth since 2016 had led real household incomes to be on average £1,500, or 4.1 per cent,lower than they would have been hadBritain voted to stay in the EU.

    Having a serial ****er in charge at the BOE has its' benefits. Every time Mark Carney opens his mouth I feel more relaxed about the whole thing.

    Bit surprised at you Eire believing all this forecast rubbish published by economic pundits as we all know pundits talk a load of shi-e.
    Although I can understand your concern Ireland stands to lose quite a lot without a EU/UK deal
    Look at data that has some meaning i.e.
    Largest EU economies Germany- in recession UK not brilliant but head above the water France doing worse than the UK Italy in recession.
    The U.K. Will do alright on its own as soon as people realise that we are leaving the EU. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    If we leave on 29 March we’ll soend the next 5 years talking about nothing but Brexit. It won’t end the day we leave.

    And it’s the reduced investment we’ve had since 2016 we need to worry about. That’s a lot more important than the last quarters growth figures

    Time will tell, time will tell. Most of the forecasters here spend their time predicting 10, 15 or 20m signings in every transfer window so I take most of the predictions with a large pinch of salt
