GDP growth stalls in July as production drops – ONS

UK GDP saw no growth in July 2025, following a rise of 0.4% in June and a drop of 0.1% in May, according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) data.

In the three months to July 2025, real GDP grew by 0.2% compared to the previous three months, down from 0.3% in June and 0.6% in May. 

Services output rose by 0.4% and construction increased by 0.6% in the three months to July, while production output dropped by 1.3%. 

In July, services grew by 0.1% and construction by 0.2%, while production fell by 0.9%.

Richard Pike, chief sales and marketing officer at Phoebus, said: “Flat monthly GDP highlights the fragile state of the UK economy and raises fresh questions about how policymakers will respond. 

“The Bank of England may feel renewed pressure to take a more supportive stance, whether through signalling future rate cuts or other measures to stimulate demand. 

“For the housing market, weaker growth risks dampening buyer confidence and delaying decisions, particularly at a time when affordability remains stretched.”

Pike added: “Any action to underpin the wider economy will be watched closely by households and the property sector alike.”
