bp’s economic impact on the UK economy in 2022
Economic Consulting Team
Oxford Economics
This study analyses the economic impact of bp in the United Kingdom in 2022.
bp has been based in the United Kingdom for more than 100 years. During that period, the company has provided the country with the reliable source of energy it needs to run. As one of the UK’s largest businesses, its activities have a significant footprint that reaches all nations and regions of the country.
In this report, we explore the economic impact that bp had in the United Kingdom in 2022. That includes the jobs, gross value added, and tax revenue the company was directly responsible for at its operational sites, as well as the economic activity bp stimulated along its supply chain by buying goods and services from businesses in the UK.

Why the next era of inflation may be benign globally
A return to the sustained 'lowflation' of the 2010s is unlikely, in our view. But we also doubt that the economic landscape has changed significantly enough that inflation will 'unanchor' from target at a higher level. Over the longer-term, we expect inflation to average around 2%, though this will include longer periods above target than was the norm post-financial crisis.

Beijing’s new industrialisation gamble – will it pay off?
Beijing's reinvigorated support for manufacturing is quite the economic gamble. With property still in the doldrums and the post-Covid services recovery having largely run its course, the rationale is that manufacturing could minimise the risk of a broader activity slowdown.
