2026.01.0609:41:22UTC+00UK Private Sector Activity Revised Lower

In December 2025, the UK’s S&P Global Composite PMI reached 51.4, slightly up from November's 51.2. This figure was notably revised downward from an initial estimate of 52.1 and did not meet the market's preliminary forecast of 51.6. Despite this adjustment, it marked the eighth consecutive month of growth in the UK's private sector, showing marginally stronger expansion in services (moving to 51.4 from 51.3 in November) and continued recovery in manufacturing, achieving a peak reading of 50.6, the highest in over a year. While new orders saw a moderate recovery, increased employment costs and uncertain demand forecasts contributed to a significant decline in employment figures. Additionally, input cost inflation surged for the second consecutive month, reaching its highest point since May, resulting in a sharp rise in output prices over the past four months.
