Growth during the quarter was primarily propelled by the services sector (+0.5%), with strong gains in information and communication (+2.7%) and professional activities (+1.7%), along with a modest uptick in construction (+0.3%). Production output remained unchanged overall (0.0%), as a 1.0% boost in manufacturing was offset by sharp declines in energy and water utilities. Expenditure was buoyed by a 0.3% increase in household spending and a 1.7% rise in business investment—particularly in technology hardware—which offset a 0.3% drop in government spending driven by declines in health and heatwave-related school closures in June.
