LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) - Finance minister Jeremy
Hunt said on Friday that the British economy had been more
resilient than many had expected, commenting on official data
showing economic output rose 0.3% month-on-month in January.
“In the face of severe global challenges, the UK economy has
proved more resilient than many expected, but there is a long
way to go," Hunt said in a statement.
Hunt said he will set out the next stage of the government's
plan to "halve inflation, reduce debt and grow the economy"
during the spring budget next week.
