GDP growth for 2025 REVEALED as ONS confirms UK economy 'grew a little' under Rachel Reeves

The UK's gross domestic product (GDP) rate grew 1.4 per cent over 2025 with the economy "growing a little" last year, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Based on the latest figures from the statistics body, economic growth over the period jumped by unrevised 0.1 per cent in the final quarter of 2025 as Chancellor Rachel Reeves attempts to bolster the economy.

Notably, the ONS kept its forecast for the October to December quarter unchanged, after an unrevised growth of 0.1 per cent in the previous three months.

However, the institution raised its projection for the year as a whole to 1.4 per cent, up from the previous growth of 1.3 per cent recorded for 2025.

Liz McKeown, director of economic statistics at the ONS, said: “Our latest figures show GDP was unrevised in the last quarter of the year, with the economy growing a little.

"Services showed no growth, while production grew strongly, partially offset by a weak quarter from construction. Meanwhile, the household savings ratio increased and remains high by historic standards."

A Treasury spokesperson said: “In an uncertain world we have the right economic plan. The decisions we have taken have put us in a better position to protect the country’s finances and family finances from global instability.

"We were the fastest growing European economy in the G7 last year and now we’re going even further by using regional growth, artificial intelligence and a closer relationship with the EU to get our economy growing."
