Mediocre and risky UK prospects

Article Abstract:

The latest economic trends in the UK are very disappointing as growth has plunged and stayed below trend for five quarters in a row, and has virtually halved from 3.2% in 2004 to an estimated 1.6% to 1.7% in 2005. Consensus forecasts point to inadequate UK prospects for 2006, and there are clear risks of a worst outcome, as stronger investment and exports are vital for recovery, but acute global uncertainties and weak business confidence are worsening the dangers facing the British economy.
