Recent independent forecasts from the HM Treasury and institutions including the IMF and OECD have converged on UK GDP growth of 0.9–1.1% for 2026, aligning with the market's 72% implied probability for the 1–2% band. Subdued quarterly momentum—0.4% expansion in Q2 following 0.6% in Q1—reflects persistent weakness in household spending and business investment amid higher energy prices stemming from the Middle East conflict. The Bank of England’s July Monetary Policy Report projects continued below-potential growth through year-end, with the MPC holding Bank Rate at 3.75% while noting widening spare capacity. Elevated inflation expectations and geopolitical uncertainty have tempered upside risks, keeping trader consensus firmly anchored near the 1% level.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/gdpfirstquarterlyestimateuk/previousreleases
The estimate of UK real GDP across the year of 2026 is an estimate of the rate at which real GDP changed, on average, throughout the year of 2026. The relevant figure may be found in “Table 1: Headline national accounts indicators for the UK” under “GDP (Chained Volume Measures)” for the relevant year, or elsewhere in the release.
If no data for the estimate of UK real gross domestic product (GDP) across the year of 2026 is included in this release, this market will resolve according to the rate at which UK real gross domestic product (GDP) changed in Q4 compared with the same quarter of the previous year. If neither figure is released by the date the next quarter's GDP first quarterly estimate is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on quarterly data (compared to the same quarter in the previous year) from the last available quarter.
Note: data from the initial release of the referenced GDP report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the initial release will not be considered for this market's resolution.
