Recent UK economic data and forecaster consensus position the 1-2% GDP growth band as the leading outcome for full-year 2026. Official quarterly estimates show 0.6% expansion in Q1 followed by 0.4% in Q2, with underlying momentum subdued amid the Middle East conflict’s impact on energy prices and business confidence. Major institutions including the IMF, OECD, and EY project annual growth of 0.8-1.0%, citing elevated inflation peaking later in the year, limited Bank of England rate cuts, and weak real income growth that constrains consumption. Upgrades in some outlooks reflect modest resilience in services, yet downside risks from prolonged supply disruptions keep meaningful probability on the 0-1% range while rendering outcomes above 2% or negative growth far less likely absent major shifts in global energy markets.

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.
