THE BOE MAINTAINS ITS TIGHT MONETARY POLICY STANCE 1/3

Posted by BearBull Group In Macro Research Insights 0 comment

The Office for National Statistics revised U.K. Q2 2026 GDP growth to a solid +0.4%, following a +0.6% expansion in Q1. Over the first half of the year, British economic growth outpaced both the Eurozone and Germany. This performance confirms that underlying private demand absorbed monetary shocks far better than early estimates suggested. The upward revision resolves earlier seasonal adjustment controversies while validating a structural recovery in business services.
