UK economic growth and resilience

Overview

The United Kingdom's economy has demonstrated growth through the second quarter of 2026. In May, GDP rose by 0.1%, driven largely by a 0.3% increase in the services sector, including computer programming, advertising, and pharmaceuticals, despite contractions in industrial production and construction.

By the second quarter, the economy showed resilience with a projected GDP increase of 0.4%, following a 0.6% increase in the first quarter. While the manufacturing sector continued to expand through July, the pace of that growth slowed. Businesses have largely managed to navigate supply chain issues and price pressures linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Iran, though certain sectors face increasing pressure from environmental factors and shifting consumer habits.

Throughout this period, economic performance remains subject to risks from geopolitical volatility, which has historically impacted energy prices and supply chains, as well as uncertainty regarding domestic political transitions.
