Marea Britanie - Creşterea economiei din iulie a depăşit aşteptările - Economica.net

The UK economy grew by 0.4% in July, surpassing expectations and continuing a strong performance from the first half of the year, despite energy shocks from the Middle East conflict. Annual growth reached 1.6%, the fastest since February 2025, exceeding analyst predictions. The services sector showed solid growth, although production and construction declined. The Bank of England anticipates a 1.1% GDP expansion for 2026, while the IMF projects a 1.3% growth, similar to 2025. Overall, the UK economy appears resilient against external shocks, prompting potential upward revisions in GDP forecasts.
