UK economic key themes for 2025

with Andrew Goodwin and Edward Allenby | Online | December 3, 2024

The UK economy ends 2024 at a crossroads. After a surprisingly strong H1 2024, GDP growth almost ground to a halt in Q3. But at the same time, many forecasters – including the Office for Budget Responsibility and the Bank of England – have become more optimistic about prospects for 2025. We take a more cautious view and in this webinar we'll look at four key themes that we expect to shape the outlook for the UK economy in 2025.

UK fiscal and monetary policy at a crossroads

with Edward Allenby and Andrew Goodwin | Online | August 12, 2024

It’s been an important few weeks for UK economic policy. New Chancellor Rachel Reeves has started to lay the ground for tax rises, beyond the increases set out in Labour’s manifesto, in the Budget on October 30. Meanwhile, the Bank of England has cut interest rates for the first time in more than four years, and signalled that further cuts are in the pipeline. We will offer our take on where fiscal and monetary policy will go from here, and set out the impact the changes will have on our UK economic forecast.

UK Macro – Have we reached the end of the rate hiking cycle?

with Andrew Goodwin and Edward Allenby | Online | May 15, 2023

In February, when Bank Rate was increased to 4%, the MPC sent a clear message that it felt its job was almost done. But since then activity has been firmer than expected and fiscal policy has been loosened, while data on wages and inflation have surprised on the upside, leading markets to expect that Bank Rate will move close to 5% by year-end. In this webinar we will provide an update on the outlook for monetary policy, looking back on the May MPC meeting and presenting some of our recent work on labour market tightness and the outlook for wage growth.

with Tony Stillo and Michael Davenport | Online | October 27, 2022
