UK | A strong recovery across all regions, but worries remain
The region with the strongest forecast GVA rise in 2021 is the East Midlands, with an 8.2% increase, closely followed by the West Midlands, North East and Northern Ireland. The South East and South West share the bottom spot with 6.9% growth, with London doing little better at 7.1%.
What you will learn from this report:
- London sees the largest increase in GVA over the period 2020-25
- The West Midlands has the smallest increase, having suffered very badly in 2020
- Differences in sector concentrations explain most of the variations in regional GVA declines in 2020 and are important going forward
- London’s key sectors performed better than nationally in 2020, helping the capital. Professional services were an exception

Japan’s fiscal policy will remain loose, which increases risks to debt sustainabilit
We've changed our fiscal outlook for Japan in our December forecast round. We now expect the new government to set a primary deficit close to that of 2024, at 2%-3% of GDP for 2025-2027, instead of restoring a balanced budget by taking advantage of strong tax revenue. We assume higher bond yields will force the government to take measures to reduce the deficit from 2028.
