UK will endure ‘longest and deepest recession’ due to policy mistakes

"The UK suffers from an energy shock as bad as Europe's, an inflation problem as bad as the US and a unique problem of labour supply."

Policy mistakes have been blamed for the UK’s expected economic woes in 2023.

A poll of economists featured on the front page of the Financial Times has revealed an almost universal expectation that Britain will endure the deepest and longest recession among G7 countries.

Forecasts compiled by Consensus Economics show GDP shrinking 1 per cent in 2023, compared with a contraction of just 0.1 per cent for the eurozone and growth of 0.25 per cent in the US.

Inflation is also expected to remain unusually high because of labour shortages in the economy.

As Ricardo Reis puts it, the UK “suffers from an energy shock as bad as Europe’s, an inflation problem as bad as the US and a unique problem of labour supply from the combination of Brexit and the NHS crisis.”

Read the analysis in full in today’s FT.

“The UK will face one of the worst recessions and weakest recoveries in the G7 this year as households pay a heavy price for the government’s policy failings.” https://t.co/FLBQYvqHwv

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
