2024 GDP Outlook
According to Trading Economics' global macro models, GDP growth rate in the UK is projected to reach 0.20% by the end of the first quarter of 2024. This positive outlook reflects continued economic growth in the services sector.
GDP Growth in Early 2024
Real GDP is estimated to have expanded by 0.2% in the three months leading up to February 2024, compared to the previous three-month period. This growth was driven by a strong performance in the services sector.
January 2024 Growth
The UK economy returned to growth in January 2024, with GDP rising by 0.2%. This expansion was largely attributed to a recovery in the services sector.
Fourth Quarter of 2023
UK GDP is estimated to have declined by a revised 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October to December). This contraction was primarily due to a decline in industrial production.
Despite these recent fluctuations, the UK economy remains resilient and is expected to continue expanding in the coming months.
