The Conference Board (TCB) Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the United Kingdom has edged down by 0.1 per cent in November 2025 to 73.9 (2016=100), after remaining flat in October.
Over the six months from May to November 2025, the LEI contracted by 0.9 per cent, a milder decline than the 1.3 per cent fall recorded between November 2024 and May 2025, suggesting some easing in downside risks but still-weak forward momentum.
Meanwhile, the Coincident Economic Index (CEI), which tracks current economic conditions, rose by 0.2 per cent in November to 108.1, following a 0.1 per cent increase in October, TCB said in a release.
However, growth over the May–November 2025 period stood at just 0.2 per cent, well below the 0.7 per cent expansion seen in the preceding six months, highlighting slower underlying activity despite incremental monthly gains.
