The NIESR GDP estimate provides a monthly gauge of the UK's economic performance over the preceding three months. Published by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, it serves as a highly regarded independent tracker that often precedes official data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It is used by analysts to identify early shifts in economic momentum and potential revisions to growth forecasts.
The estimate is calculated using a combination of official monthly data and NIESR's proprietary econometric models to project the rolling three-month growth rate.
