Latest Updates

The UK economy expanded by just 0.1% in Q3 2025, easing from 0.3% growth in Q2 and falling short of market expectations of 0.2%, according to preliminary estimates. The production sector contracted 0.5%, following a 0.8% decline in the previous period, led by manufacturing (-0.8%) and mining and quarrying (-1.5%). Within manufacturing, motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers tumbled 10.3% after a cyberattack severely disrupted operations at Jaguar Land Rover in September. Services output rose 0.2% (vs. 0.4% in Q2), supported by arts, entertainment, recreation, and real estate, while professional, scientific, and technical activities declined. Construction output increased 0.1% (vs. 1.0%), driven by repair and maintenance, though new work fell. In expenditure terms, gains in investment, spending, and net trade were partly offset by falling valuables and inventories. On an annual basis, GDP increased 1.3% in Q3, slightly below forecasts of 1.4%.
