Scotland's economy documented a GDP rate that increased 0.6 percent in June 2025. This was released by the chief statistician, highlighting that there is a robust performance compared to May, when the development level earned up to 0.1 percent, suggesting a fall after earlier estimation. In the mid-year quarter from April to June, there is 0.2 percent inclusive growth in the GDP rate compared to the first quarter.

This growth represents a slower speed than an increase of 0.4% seen between January and March, although the monthly development of June suggests that some areas continue to perform well. The strongest contribution came from professional, scientific, and technical services along with manufacturing, accounting for about 0.2 percentage point of increase in June with each field. Together, these industries played a central role in raising the national economy during the month.

All data are stated in real terms, which means that the effect of inflation has been removed, and they only cover the onshore output of Scotland. Activity with offshore oil and gas extraction is excluded from these figures. Officials emphasize that statistics are in development and therefore provisional; more evidence is available, leaving space for future adjustment. The results widely align with patterns in the UK, where the national economy expanded 0.4% in June, supported by services, production, and construction. At both Scottish and UK levels, technical and professional services, including research, consultation, and engineering, emerged as important drivers of development.

While the slowdown in the quarterly progress figures out that, in the second quarter of June, the Scotland economy will maintain flexibility, particularly in service sectors like industries and manufacturing units. The upcoming months will continue this pace, which will be challenging due to the background of worldwide conditions of uncertainty and domestic markets.
