LONDON (MNI) – UK service sector output rose modestly on the month
in February, helped by an increase in financial services, National
Statistics said Thursday.

The Index Of Services rose 0.2% on the month, rising 0.3% on a
three-month vs three month ago basis.

The monthly rise was largely attributable to the 1.7% rise in
business services and finance.
