Business investment in the United Kingdom increased by 1.5% in the quarter ending in September 2025, surpassing initial expectations of a 0.3% decline and recovering from a previously adjusted 1.7% decrease. This rise highlights a significant uptick in corporate expenditure, indicating enhanced confidence among businesses regarding the economic future. Companies appear more prepared to invest in new equipment, technology, and various productive assets. Year-on-year, business investment climbed by 2.7%, significantly outpacing initial projections of a 0.7% increase, although it slightly slowed from a revised 3.2% growth in the preceding period. Additionally, overall gross fixed capital formation increased by 1.3%, mainly due to growth in machinery, equipment, residential buildings, and intellectual property products.
