UK GDP Growth Steady at 0.4% in Q2, Avoids Recession

The UK's GDP growth held steady at 0.4% in Q2 2025, matching market forecasts.

This moderate expansion is supported by consumer spending and services output, with the services sector driving growth.

While the pace of growth has slowed from the previous quarter, the UK economy remains on a positive trajectory, avoiding a technical recession that some analysts had feared earlier in the year.

The steady growth figure gives the Bank of England room to maintain its current monetary policy stance, with interest rates expected to remain unchanged at the next meeting.
