UK GDP Dashboard

UK GDP growth has been choppy in recent quarters, with brief spurts of momentum followed by soft patches as households and firms adjust to tighter financial conditions. Consumer spending has been uneven, while business investment has shown signs of caution. The overall picture is one of modest underlying growth, where the direction of travel matters as much as the headline print: small quarterly moves can hide meaningful shifts in demand, trade and inventories. In this dashboard we track the headline series alongside key components to help you see whether growth is broad-based, policy-sensitive, or driven by temporary factors.
