U.K. Economic Outlook: Higher Prices, Hard Policy Choices
The U.K. economy faces a challenging combination of subdued growth, resurgent inflation resulting from the Iran conflict, and rising political uncertainty at home. With energy prices remaining volatile and the government under scrutiny following recent elections, the outlook for growth, interest rates, and fiscal policy is increasingly hard to call.
This on-demand webinar explores:
- How badly the Middle East conflict has hit the U.K.`s growth prospects
- How the Bank of England will respond to the latest jump in inflation
- The impact on long-term borrowing costs and the housing market
- Whether renewed political uncertainty could threaten fiscal sustainability
