UK Economy Rebounds: GDP Grows 0.3% in November, Exceeding Forecasts

  • The UK economy saw a 0.3% growth in November, surpassing economists' predictions of a 0.1% increase.
  • This growth marks a rebound from a revised 0.1% contraction recorded in October.
  • The improvement occurred despite uncertainty surrounding Finance Minister Rachel Reeves's budget statement on November 26.
  • The Bank of England is unlikely to alter its stance on interest rates based on this single-month recovery, projecting zero growth for Q4 2025.
  • Further economic data, including inflation and unemployment figures, are expected next week, providing more clarity.

Why It Matters: UK's GDP grew 0.3% in November, exceeding forecasts, but long-term economic outlook remains cautious.
