Office for National Statistics (ONS), reported that the Gross domestic product (GDP) in the country grew by a rate of 0.6% in the first three months of the year.

The evidences tell that the sales of the some products in the country are raising very fast keeping in view the world cup. But there are so many products, which still depend upon the falling prices, and some other variables in the country.

Though the present retailing market is experiencing a rising path, still it has become a matter of more concern on the part of the Bank of England to have necessary steps upon the interest rates. The analysts are expecting that the bank will keep the interest rate fixed at 4.5% for the present time.
