India, June 12 -- The UK economy contracted in April due to weakness in the services sector, the Office for National Statistics reported Friday.

Real gross domestic product posted a contraction of 0.1 percent in April, in contrast to a 0.3 percent expansion in March. This was the first monthly fall since August 2025 and also came in line with expectations.

The decline was driven by a 0.2 percent fall in services output. This was offset by a 0.1 percent increase in construction output.
