UK economy grew by 0.4% in June on stronger services and construction output
Update: Date: 2025-08-14T06:47:50.000Z Title: UK GDP grew by 0.3% in second quarter thanks to surprise June acceleration Content: Good morning, and welcome to our live, rolling coverage of business, economics and financial markets. The UK economy grew by 0.4% month-on-month in June according to new data that helped the second quarter to end with better-than-expected output, according to data published on Thursday. British output rose by 0.3% in the second quarter of 2025, the Office for National Statistics said. That was higher than the 0.1% expected by economists polled by Reuters. The faster-than-expected growth was down to better performance from the services and construction sectors, which grew at 0.4% and 1.2% respectively in the quarter – although production output (which includes manufacturing) fell. Real GDP per head is estimated to have grown by 0.2% in the latest quarter and is up 0.7% compared with the same quarter a year ago. Nevertheless, it was still a slowdown compared to the first quarter, when the UK economy grew by 0.7%. Economists expected slower growth because of Donald Trump's trade war, which caused chaos in the second quarter after his 'liberation day' announcement on 2 April. It is also unclear whether the help from the construction sector can be sustained, given more recent purchasing managers' index data for July showing a steep drop in UK housebuilding. We'll have all the reaction to the GDP figures this morning. 10am BST: Eurozone GDP growth rate second estimate (second quarter; previous: 0.6% quarter-on-quarter; consensus: 0.1%) 10am BST: Eurozone industrial production (June; previous: 1.7% month-on-month; consensus: -1%) 1pm BST: US producer price inflation (July; previous: 0%; consensus: 0.2%)
