Latest figures released this morning show that GDP grew 0.7% in the three months to April 2026.

Commenting on today’s GDP figures, ONS Director of Economic Statistics Liz McKeown said:

“The economy grew in the latest three months as a whole, reflecting strong growth in February and March. This was despite April showing a small fall.

“Services were again the driver with particular strength in computer programming, marketing and wholesale companies across the three months, while construction showed some further signs of recovery after a weak winter.

“This was partly offset by falls in research and development and in sports industries, alongside a notable fall in electricity generation.”

The latest public sector finance statistics are out.

Borrowing – the difference between total public sector spending and income – was £24.3 billion in April 2026, 25.1% more than in April 2025.

Commenting on today’s public sector finances figures, ONS Chief Economist Grant Fitzner said:

“Borrowing this month was substantially higher than in April last year and although receipts increased compared with April 2025, this was more than offset by higher spending on benefits and other costs.

Borrowing for the latest full financial year was revised down slightly, and on a comparable basis remains the lowest since the year ending March 2020.”
