On 9th November, the ONS will release the GDP growth figure for the third quarter of 2018, giving an indication of the likely growth trajectory for the second half of the year. As the Brexit negotiations appear to continue to be at a standstill, and trade tensions show no sign of abatement around the world, what will these global events mean for the Midlands?
