LONDON, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Britain's monthly real gross domestic product (GDP) rose 0.4 percent in July, with all three major industrial sectors recording mild growth, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed Friday.
The figure followed 0.3 percent growth in June, and no growth in May, according to the ONS.
In July, the services industry reported a 0.4 percent increase, and the production and construction industries recorded 0.2 percent and 0.1 percent increases, respectively.
In the three months to July, Britain's real GDP is estimated to have grown by 0.4 percent compared with the three months to April, the data also showed.
The services sector contributed the most, with the output rising 0.6 percent. However, production and construction outputs both fell 0.5 percent in the May-July period.
"Within services, computer programming was the largest contributor, continuing the strong growth seen throughout the year, with evidence that businesses involved with artificial intelligence and related technologies helped to boost this sector," ONS Director of Economic Statistics Liz McKeown said. ■
