UK Economy Grows 0.4% in July, Beating Forecasts
x/united-kingdom
— 1d
Britain’s July GDP rose 0.4%, led by services and supported by a resilient economy that has outpaced expectations and maintained growth momentum into Q3; analysts note the oil-price surge from Middle East tensions could test the inflation and BoE path, while some commentators warn the pickup may reflect seasonal effects. The data reinforce a bright start to 2025’s second half and support forecasts of stronger 2026 growth, even as the BoE weighs higher inflation risks and policy responses.
