The firm said growth in the region is expected to stay roughly on a par with the national average of 1%, rising to 2% in 2014.

Mark Shires, senior partner at PwC, said: “GDP growth of 0.9% this year is positive for the East Midlands economy and businesses should be encouraged to capitalise on the expected upturn in consumer spending and opportunities created by local infrastructure investment.
