Project fear consigned to the dustbin .

The chief executive of Barclays' (BARC.L) has said the UK economy is on track for its best year since the aftermath of the Second World War.

"We estimate the UK economy will grow at its fastest rate since 1948," Jes Staley told the BBC on Friday. "That's pretty spectacular."

The comments came as Barclays reported a surge in first quarter profits that beat analysts' forecasts.

The bank made a pre-tax profit of £2.4bn ($3.3bn) on revenues of £5.9bn in the first quarter of 2021. Analysts had expected Barclays to report a pre-tax profit of £1.75bn on revenue of £5.15bn.

"We estimate the UK economy will grow at its fastest rate since 1948,"

Or that the UK economy would shrink by 9.8% in 2020 - the worst performance in the G7.

The bounce on GDP growth is purely down to the unlocking of the economy after lockdown and absolutely nothing to do because of Brexit.
