United Kingdom GDP growth decelerated to 0.7% year-over-year in December 2025, down from 1.2% in November 2025, according to data updated on 12 February 2026. The figures are based on a comparison of each month’s economic output with the same month a year earlier.
The slowdown in December suggests a moderation in the UK’s year-over-year growth momentum at the end of 2025, following a stronger performance in November. While the economy continued to expand on an annual basis, the softer pace underscores a more cautious backdrop heading into 2026, with markets likely to watch upcoming releases closely for signs of whether this easing trend persists.
