Monthly GDP November 2025

  • UK GDP rose by 0.1% in the three months to November 2025, a tentative stabilisation after October’s contraction, though overall momentum remains weak. On a monthly basis, GDP grew by 0.3% in November, rebounding from a 0.1% fall in October. Compared with a year earlier, GDP was 1.4% higher, indicating some underlying growth despite recent volatility.
  • Services output increased by 0.2% over the three months to November, offering limited support to overall growth following a prolonged slowdown through much of 2025. Monthly services output rose by 0.3% in November, with growth driven by areas such as real estate and administrative and support services, partially offset by continued softness in several consumer- and business-facing activities.
  • Production output edged down by 0.1% over the three-month period, extending a pattern of weakness despite a strong monthly performance. In November alone, production jumped by 1.1%, reflecting a rebound in manufacturing and energy-related output, though this was not sufficient to reverse the broader three-month decline.
  • Construction output fell by 1.1% in the three months to November, marking a sustained downturn in the sector. This weakness was driven by a 1.3% monthly fall in November, due to ongoing pressure from subdued private sector activity and delayed project starts.
  • Overall, GDP remained around 1.3% higher than a year earlier on a three-month basis, but growth continues to rely on service-sector strength, with household-facing demand and construction activity remaining notably subdued.

Real GDP grew by 0.1% in the three months to November 2025, following no growth in the three months to October 2025 and a growth of 0.1% in the three months to September 2025
