Recent UK GDP data and consensus forecasts position 1-2% annual growth as the dominant 2026 outcome. Official Q2 2026 figures showed 0.4% quarter-on-quarter expansion, with year-over-year growth at 1.2%, while independent forecasts from HM Treasury's August panel, OECD, EY, and IMF cluster between 0.8% and 1.1%. Subdued business surveys, PMI readings below historical averages, and the lingering effects of Middle East conflict—elevating energy costs and uncertainty—have tempered momentum from stronger Q1 performance. Market-implied odds reflect this base-rate expectation of moderate expansion near trend, with risks from persistent inflation and potential further rate-path adjustments by the Bank of England. Key upcoming releases include revised quarterly estimates and the next Monetary Policy Report.

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.
