Recent independent forecasts compiled by HM Treasury in August 2026 point to 1.1% UK GDP growth for the full year, up marginally from July, aligning with the 71.5% market-implied probability on 1-2% annual expansion. The Bank of England’s July Monetary Policy Report and IMF Article IV assessment both cite the Middle East conflict’s effects—higher energy prices eroding real incomes, tighter financial conditions, and elevated uncertainty—as key drags on domestic demand and Q3 momentum following Q2’s 0.4% quarterly gain. Subdued post-pandemic trend growth near 1%, softening labor markets, and the pending Autumn Budget’s influence on business investment further anchor expectations within the 1-2% range, while productivity gains offer limited upside offset.

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.
