(Sharecast News) - The UK economy grew 0.1% in July to September, in line with the initial estimate, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics on Monday.
For the second quarter, however, growth was revised down to 0.2% from 0.3%.
ONS director of economic statistics Liz McKeown said: "Today's updated figures paint the same picture as our initial estimate, with growth continuing to slow in the third quarter.
"Growth in services were partially offset by falls in production, with a marked drop in car manufacturing.
"Our latest figures show the household saving ratio, whilst falling in recent periods, remains high by historic standards."
Real GDP per head was estimated to have shown no growth in the latest quarter and was up 0.9% compared with the same quarter a year ago. Meanwhile, real household disposable income per head fell 0.8% in the latest quarter, following no change in the previous quarter.
Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said: "The UK growth story isn't exactly a page turner and the latest revisions by the ONS describes an economy struggling to trudge through difficult conditions.
"The impact of the cyber-attack on Jaguar Land Rover, which brought its vehicle production to a standstill grabbed headlines and did have a marked impact on the production data for Q3 but set aside the impact of that exceptional situation and it's the same old story.
"There is growth but not much, and the fact that the second quarter only managed to expand at 0.2% and not the 0.3% that had been initially thought, shows just how difficult it is for the government to deliver on its pro-growth promises.
"It's not just the UK struggling to find the right fertiliser. In fact, despite the downward revision for the second quarter of the year the UK economy still came out joint top for G7 performance in the first half of the year."
