The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) keeps first-quarter growth unchanged, confirming that GDP rises as previously estimated. According to the latest ONS data referenced by outlets covering the update, growth in the first quarter remains unrevised. However, the ONS makes a downward revision to economic performance later on: it reports that GDP at the end of 2025 grows by 0.1%, after revising figures lower from an earlier estimate. Taken together, the update indicates that the near-term picture for early 2025 is steady, while the outlook for the later part of the year is weaker than previously thought due to the adjustment to end-2025 growth. The reports focus specifically on the revision details and do not cite changes to the first-quarter growth rate, suggesting the main movement in the ONS release is the downward adjustment for the final quarter of 2025 rather than an alteration to the start-of-year data.
