Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 47.5% implied probability for UK Q1 2026 GDP growth in the 0.0-0.3% range, driven by fiscal tightening in Chancellor Reeves' October 30 budget, including employer National Insurance hikes and spending restraint that the Office for Budget Responsibility now forecasts will limit 2025 annual growth to 1.0%. Bank of England projections align, showing 1.1% GDP expansion in 2025 amid sticky services inflation and softening labor market indicators like rising unemployment to 4.5%. Recent Q3 2024 GDP of +0.7% quarter-on-quarter exceeded estimates but failed to shift forward expectations, with weaker November PMIs signaling headwinds. Upcoming Q4 2025 GDP data and the February 2026 MPC meeting could sway these subdued odds.
