British economic output grew by 0.5% in June, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed on Friday.
Sterling was last up 0.3% at $1.2708, compared with $1.2685 before the data, but was still on course for a fourth consecutive weekly loss against the dollar.
The euro fell against the pound, dropping 0.1% on the day to 86.50 pence, down from 86.64 earlier on.
