preCharge News BUSINESS — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Thursday that the U.K. has the fastest economic growth in the Group of Seven — the bloc made up of major economies Canada, the U.K., France, Germany, the U.S., Italy and Japan.

His comments came after data showed the U.K.’s economy grew by a better-than-expected 0.7% in the first quarter of the year.

A comparison of the seven countries’ most recent quarterly gross domestic product releases shows that the U.K. is indeed experiencing the fastest pace of economic growth. Canada, which is set to publish its first quarter GDP figures at the end of this month, saw economic growth of 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
