London, March 26 (BridgeNews) - Fourth quarter U.K. GDP growth was revised up Monday to up 0.4% on the quarter and up 2.6% on the year, confounding market expectations that it would be left unchanged. The previous estimate put GDP up 0.3% on the quarter and up 2.5% on the year. The upward revision was mainly due to new data on construction output, the Office for National Statistics said.
