A taxi and buses queue outside the Bank of England in London, Britain December 10, 2015. Britain's poor trade performance weighed heavily on the economy in the third quarter when gross domestic product growth slowed to a quarterly 0.5 percent. It is likely to do so again in last three months of 2015, frustrating hopes of policymakers who want to see more a balanced recovery. The Bank of England expects growth to pick up in the fourth quarter to 0.6 percent.REUTERS/Luke MacGregor
