United Kingdom GDP 3-Month Average
GDP measures the value of goods and services produced in the UK. The reading refers to a three-month growth rate, which is a better indicator of the underlying growth in GDP as the monthly figure is likely to be more volatile. In this sense, the monthly release can be thought of as a monthly update on three months’ worth of data on the economy, rather than a figure representing the economy in just one month. Rolling three-month data is calculated by comparing growth in a three-month period with growth in the previous three-month period, for example growth in March to May compared with the previous December to February.

UK GDP Rises 0.1% in Three Months to December
The UK economy grew 0.1% in the three months to December 2025, ending two consecutive quarters of contraction but falling short of the expected 0.2% increase. Growth was mainly driven by a 1.2% rise in production output, following seven months of decline, with contributions from all four production sectors. Manufacturing rose 0.9% after five months of falls, electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning increased 3.1%, mining and quarrying grew 1.4%, and water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation activities rose 0.7%. Services output remained flat for the third consecutive month, as gains in administrative services, public administration, information and communication, and health were offset by falls in professional services and education. Construction declined 2.1%, with new work down 2.6% and repairs and maintenance falling 1.5%, continuing a broader slowdown in the sector.

The UK economy expanded by 0.1% in the three months to November 2025, following flat growth in the three months to October and outperforming market expectations of a 0.2% contraction.

By contrast, production output declined by 0.1%, largely reflecting a drop in the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers following August’s cyber incident. Construction output fell by 1.1%, marking the sharpest three-month decline since March 2023, as both new work and repair and maintenance decreased by 1.0% and 1.1%, respectively.
