UK Economy Grows but Slows Ahead | UK News

The UK economy grew 0.4% in Q2, slightly slower than Q1’s 0.6%, with services driving gains and manufacturing adding to the momentum. Overall, the economy is now 1.2% larger than a year ago—but experts warn growth is cooling. June saw a strong 0.3% monthly jump fueled by summer weather and major sports events, though May’s figures were revised down. While tech, advertising, and pharma thrived, sectors like power and sewerage declined, with geopolitical tensions and political uncertainty weighing on the outlook. Inflation and unemployment are expected to rise, and business confidence remains fragile. Though resilient, the economy is facing headwinds—and building lasting strength will be key as the government prepares its next budget.
