The UK economy started 2025 with a surprisingly strong performance, with its GDP growing by +0.7% in the first quarter, the best among the G7. This growth was mainly driven by the services sector, exports, and fixed investment. This performance significantly outpaced other G7 economies, including the Eurozone's +0.3% and the US's -0.1%. This result positions the UK as an outlier among its peers, highlighting its early-year resilience.
