Special: What’s wrong with the UK economy (and what will it take to fix it)?
The sick man of Europe. Broken Britain. Stagflation nation. The UK has had an unenviable post-pandemic economic recovery, lagging other advanced economies on growth but ahead of the pack when it comes to inflation. But how much of what ails the UK economy is cyclical? Are fundamental changes needed to put the economy on a surer footing and, if so, is there the political will to deliver them?
In this special episode of The Weekly Briefing, Chief UK Economist Paul Dales and Deputy Chief UK Economist Ruth Gregory speak to David Wilder about the UK’s near-term growth, inflation and policy outlook, as well as the longer-term issues that need to be addressed if the current gloomy narrative is going to be changed.
