Marea Britanie - Creşterea economiei a încetinit în trimestrul doi din 2026 - Economica.net

The UK economy grew by 0.4% in Q2 2026, slowing from 0.6% in Q1, influenced by the Iran conflict but aligning with analyst forecasts. Unexpectedly, GDP rose by 0.3% in June due to lower energy prices and the World Cup. The National Statistics Office noted fewer firms reported impacts from the Iran conflict, with some sectors benefiting from warm weather and increased sales during the World Cup. The Bank of England maintained interest rates at 3.75%, monitoring the Middle East situation closely. Analysts warn of potential stagnation and recession risks due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and internal political crises.
