Alex Kerr, a macroeconomist at KITU, pointed out that although the data showed that the UK's GDP grew by only 0.1% month-on-month in the third quarter, the economic situation seemed to be slightly healthier than previously anticipated. Corporate investment data has been drastically revised, from the 0.3% month-on-month decline previously announced to an increase of 1.5%; at the same time, despite a decline in actual household income, consumers are more willing to spend. The growth rate of consumer spending was also improved. The household savings rate fell from 10.2% in the second quarter to 9.5% in the third quarter, the lowest level in over a year. However, the above data are all lagging indicators, and they have not changed the overall picture of a slowdown in GDP growth in the second half of 2025. The UK economy grew in only two of the past seven months.
