The United Kingdom's economy grew by a mere 0.1% in the third quarter of 2025, aligning with preliminary forecasts and marking a slowdown from the 0.3% growth observed in the preceding quarter. The production sector experienced a decline of 0.3%, influenced significantly by decreases in manufacturing (-0.8%) and mining and quarrying (-0.4%). Within the manufacturing segment, the transport equipment sector saw a substantial drop of 4.7%. Notably, the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers plunged by 10.3%, following a significant cyberattack that severely impacted operations at Jaguar Land Rover in September. Conversely, the services sector recorded a growth of 0.2%, bolstered by financial, insurance, and real estate activities, although there was a downturn in professional and technical services. Construction output edged up by 0.2%, fueled by gains in repair and maintenance, despite a decline in new work projects. In terms of expenditure, household consumption rose by 0.3%, government expenditures increased by 0.4%, and business investment saw a recovery with a 1.5% rise. Annually, the GDP expanded by 1.3%, a slight decrease from the 1.4% growth rate recorded in the second quarter, yet consistent with preliminary expectations.
