FX.co ★ UK Monthly GDP 3M/3M Turns Positive in December, Signalling Tentative Growth Pickup

The United Kingdom’s economy showed tentative signs of improvement at the end of 2025, as the Monthly GDP 3M/3M change moved back into positive territory in December. The indicator rose to 0.1% in December 2025, up from -0.1% recorded in November 2025.

This shift from contraction to modest growth suggests a stabilisation in economic activity over the three-month period to December, following a slight downturn earlier in the quarter. While the improvement is incremental, it may be viewed as an early indication that the UK economy is edging away from stagnation and toward a fragile recovery.

The updated data, released on 12 February 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers assessing the underlying momentum of the UK economy heading into 2026 and its implications for future growth and monetary policy decisions.
