Britain’s stubbornly high inflation rate has intensified expectations that the Bank of England will continue to increase borrowing costs, potentially pushing the economy into a recession which it has so far dodged.
Finance minister Jeremy Hunt pointed to improved forecasts from the OECD for the economy which it now expected to grow by 0.3 percent in 2023 and 1 percent in 2024. Previously the OECD had expected the economy to shrink by 0.2 percent this year and grow by 0.9 percent next year. “Today’s report boosts our growth forecast, praises our action to help parents back to work with a major expansion of free childcare, and recognizes our cuts to business taxes which aim to drive investment,” Hunt said in a statement.
“But while inflation is still too high, we must stick relentlessly to our plan to halve it this year. That is the only long term way to grow the economy and ease the cost of living pressures on families.”Subscribe to our daily newsletter
