TwitterA series for the GDP deflator in index form is produced by the Treasury from data provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). GDP deflator outturn are based on the ONS Quarterly National Accounts release (at the end of each quarter). However, a more recent version of ONS GDP outturn may be used depending on when the OBR updates its GDP deflator forecasts (usually at Budget and Autumn Statement).
Outturn data covering the years 1955-56 to 2021-22 (1955 to 2022) are the First Quarterly Estimate of GDP figures from the ONS, 10 February 2023.
Forecasts covering periods 2022-23 to 2027-28 (2023 to 2027) are from the OBR as at the Spring Budget 15 March 2023.
GDP deflators for financial years 1955-56 to 2021-22 have been taken directly from ONS series L8GG. GDP deflators for calendar years 1955 to 2022 have been taken from ONS series MNF2. Non-seasonally adjusted money GDP for calendar and financial years are taken from ONS series BKTL. For financial years only, seasonally adjusted money GDP series YBHA has also been included.
The next GDP deflator update will be shortly after the ONS Quarterly National Accounts release of 31 March 2023.

Fund management activities revenue is forecast to drop at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2025-26 to £29.9 billion, including estimated growth of 2.5% in 2025-26. Fund managers have had to navigate turbulent markets in recent years, hit by aggressive monetary policy, geopolitical tensions and muted economic growth. Such uncertainty made investors antsy, triggering volatile capital flows and creating unstable fee income. Economic uncertainty surrounding markets amid the threat of a recession, the cost-of-living squeeze and the gilt crisis in 2022-23 all shook key investor segments, causing the first net outflow in funding in 2022 since data was first recorded. Despite conditions remaining bleak in 2023-24, financial markets made a slow recovery, with both bond and stock markets benefitting from the expectation of interest rate cuts, triggering a rally at the tail-end of the year. However, amid fierce price competition and falling fees, this wasn’t enough to offset the drop in revenue during 2023-24. Capital markets performed well in 2024-25 thanks to further interest rate cuts and excitement surrounding generative AI supporting investment activity, driving up profit. However, fund managers exposed to US markets saw hefty declines at the start of 2025 due to Trump’s erratic tariff policies, which incited fears of a recession. In 2025-26, markets will remain edgy as continued uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariff policies and fears of a tech bubble prompt large sell-offs, inciting fierce volatility. Investors are shifting allocations towards Europe, looking to benefit from growing military spending from major economies like Germany, supporting profit of 19.3% in 2025-26. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6% over the five years through 2030-31 to £39.9 billion. Capital markets will continue to grow in the short term, propped up by the prospect of further rate cuts. However, equity remains vulnerable because soaring stock valuations seen in recent years can lead to a severe price correction if any negative news hits markets, hurting revenue growth. Already proving a useful tool for fund managers, AI will continue to gain momentum in the coming years, especially among smaller managers looking to improve data analytics capabilities and client offerings. Fund managers will also have to navigate the changing perceptions of ESG investments, which, although hitting the headlines over recent years, are beginning to lose the interest of investors due to their lower returns. While growth in the domestic economy may be slow in the coming years, investment companies will take advantage of growing opportunities in expanding markets, despite facing fiercer competition from foreign funds.

TwitterThe government’s Bank Referral Scheme is designed to help improve SME access to finance and competition in the SME lending market.
Launched in November 2016, the scheme requires 9 of the UK’s biggest banks to pass on the details of small businesses they have turned down for finance to three Government designated finance platforms: Alternative Business Funding, Funding Options and Funding Xchange. These platforms are, in turn, required to share their details, in anonymous form, with alternative finance providers, helping to facilitate a conversation between the business and any provider who expresses an interest in supplying finance to them.
The scheme was introduced in response to evidence which shows that SMEs tend to approach their main bank when seeking finance and that, if rejected, many simply give up rather than seek alternative options. As other finance providers with different business models or risk appetites may be more willing to lend to these SMEs, this represents both an informational market failure and a significant barrier to entry for competitors in the SME lending market. The Bank Referral Scheme helps to address this by giving businesses that are viable, but do not fit the risk appetite of the traditional banks, access to the finance they need to grow and thrive.

TwitterBasic bank accounts have been available in the UK for over a decade, aimed at supporting financial inclusion for those without a bank account. Previous industry agreements on basic bank accounts were not prescriptive, but established that basic bank accounts should not charge the customer for everyday transactions, and should not be able to go overdrawn.
Following extensive negotiations with the banking industry, in December 2014 the coalition government announced a new voluntary agreement (‘the 2014 agreement’) with the 9 largest PCA providers in the UK to improve basic bank accounts. The participants were: Barclays; Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank; Co-operative Bank; HSBC; Lloyds Banking Group (including Halifax and Bank of Scotland brands); Nationwide; Royal Bank of Scotland (including NatWest and Ulster Bank brands); Santander; TSB.
Since the beginning of 2016, all 9 participating institutions have offered basic bank accounts that are fee-free for standard operations, including a failed payment, removing the risk that customers run up unintended overdrafts. Basic bank account customers are able to use the same services (e.g. ATM and Post Office counter access) as the institution’s other personal current account customers.
The 2014 agreement included a commitment by participating institutions to provide data to the Treasury on basic bank accounts and personal current accounts, and a commitment by the Treasury to publish information on basic bank account market share. The data in this publication fulfils this commitment. The data covers the period 1 January to 30 June 2016.
Read more about the 2014 Basic Bank Account Agreement, the Payment Accounts Regulations 2015 and the UK’s compliance with the Payment Accounts Directive.
