2 June 2025 UK Monitor GDP likely fell 0.1% month-to-month in April

  • We still look for quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.3% in Q2, above the MPC’s projection, 0.1%.

27 May 2025 UK Monitor Week in review: strong growth and inflation mean no August rate cut

  • Hard data defy weak sentiment, bumping up our Q2 growth forecast to 0.3% quarter-to-quarter…
  • …The uncertainty shock has faded, and inflation will likely stay above 3.0% until next April.
  • So, we expect the MPC to skip an August cut, lowering rates only once more in 2025, in November.

19 May 2025 UK Monitor Week in Review: Solid Q1, fading tariff drag boost growth forecasts

  • Strong underlying growth momentum and President Trump’s backtracking on tariffs boost our forecasts.
  • We boost our growth forecasts to 1.1% and 1.2% in 2025 and 2026 respectively, each up 0.2pp..
  • We see risks to the consensus, and the MPC’s forecast, for April CPI skewed heavily upwards.

Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
