In 2024, the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United Kingdom grew by *** percent and is expected to grow by just *** percent in 2025 and by *** percent in 2026. Growth is expected to slow down to *** percent in 2027, and then grow by ***, and *** percent in 2027 and 2028 respectively. The sudden emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 and subsequent closure of large parts of the economy were the cause of the huge *** percent contraction in 2020, with the economy recovering somewhat in 2021, when the economy grew by *** percent. UK growth downgraded in 2025 Although the economy is still expected to grow in 2025, the *** percent growth anticipated in this forecast has been halved from *** percent in October 2024. Increased geopolitical uncertainty as well as the impact of American tariffs on the global economy are some of the main reasons for this mark down. The UK's inflation rate for 2025 has also been revised, with an annual rate of *** percent predicated, up from *** percent in the last forecast. Unemployment is also anticipated to be higher than initially thought, with the annual unemployment rate likely to be *** percent instead of *** percent. Long-term growth problems In the last two quarters of 2023, the UK economy shrank by *** percent in Q3 and by *** percent in Q4, plunging the UK into recession for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Even before that last recession, however, the UK economy has been struggling with weak growth. Although growth since the pandemic has been noticeably sluggish, there has been a clear long-term trend of declining growth rates. The economy has consistently been seen as one of the most important issues to people in Britain, ahead of health, immigration and the environment. Achieving strong levels of economic growth is one of the main aims of the Labour government elected in 2024, although after almost one year in power it has so far proven elusive.

Across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the European Union, gross domestic products (GDP) decreased in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, by 2021, growth rates were positive in all four areas again. The United Kingdom, Germany, and the European Union all experiencing slow economic growth in 2023 amid high inflation, with Germany even seeing an economic recession. GDP and its components GDP refers to the total market value of all goods and services that are produced within a country per year. It is composed of government spending, consumption, business investments and net exports. It is an important indicator to measure the economic strength of a country. Economists rely on a variety of factors when predicting the future performance of the GDP. Inflation rate is one of the economic indicators providing insight into the future behavior of households, which make up a significant proportion of GDP. Projections are based on the past performance of such information. Future considerations Some factors can be more easily predicted than others. For example, projections of the annual inflation rate of the United States are easy to come by. However, the intensity and impact of something like Brexit is difficult to predict. Moreover, the occurrence and impact of events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine is difficult to foresee. Hence, actual GDP growth may be higher or lower than the original estimates.

The UK economy shrank by 0.1 percent in May 2025 after shrinking by 0.3 percent in April. Since a huge decline in GDP in April 2020, the UK economy has gradually recovered and is now around 4.4 percent larger than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. After the initial recovery from the pandemic, however, the UK economy has effectively flatlined, fluctuating between low growth and small contractions since January 2022. Labour banking on growth to turn around fortunes in 2025 In February 2025, just over half a year after winning the last general election, the approval rating for the new Labour government fell to a low of -48 percent. Furthermore, the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer was not only less popular than the new Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, but also the leader of the Reform Party, Nigel Farage, whose party have surged in opinion polls recently. This remarkable decline in popularity for the new government is, in some part, due to a deliberate policy of making tough decisions early. Arguably, the most damaging of these policies was the withdrawal of the winter fuel allowance for some pensioners, although other factors such as a controversy about gifts and donations also hurt the government. While Labour aims to restore the UK's economic and political credibility in the long term, they will certainly hope for some good economic news sooner rather than later. Economy bounces back in 2024 after ending 2023 in recession Due to two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, in late 2023 the UK economy ended the year in recession. After not growing at all in the second quarter of 2023, UK GDP fell by 0.1 percent in the third quarter, and then by 0.3 percent in the last quarter. For the whole of 2023, the economy grew by 0.4 percent compared to 2022, and for 2024 is forecast to have grown by 1.1 percent. During the first two quarters of 2024, UK GDP grew by 0.7 percent, and 0.4 percent, with this relatively strong growth followed by zero percent growth in the third quarter of the year. Although the economy had started to grow again by the time of the 2024 general election, this was not enough to save the Conservative government at the time. Despite usually seen as the best party for handling the economy, the Conservative's economic competency was behind that of Labour on the eve of the 2024 election.

The United Kingdom's economy grew by 1.1 percent in 2024, after a growth rate of 0.4 percent in 2023, 4.8 percent in 2022, 8.6 percent in 2021, and a record 10.3 percent fall in 2020. During the provided time period, the biggest annual fall in gross domestic product before 2020 occurred in 2009, when the UK economy contracted by 4.6 percent at the height of the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Before 2021, the year with the highest annual GDP growth rate was 1973, when the UK economy grew by 6.5 percent. UK economy growing but GDP per capita falling In 2022, the UK's GDP per capita amounted to approximately 37,371 pounds, with this falling to 37,028 pounds in 2023, and 36,977 pounds in 2024. While the UK economy as a whole grew during this time, the UK's population grew at a faster rate, resulting in the negative growth in GDP per capita. This suggests the UK economy's struggles with productivity are not only stagnating, but getting worse. The relatively poor economic performance of the UK in recent years has not gone unnoticed by the electorate, with the economy consistently seen as the most important issue for voters since 2022. Recent shocks to UK economy In the second quarter of 2020, the UK economy shrank by a record 20.3 percent at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there was a relatively swift economic recovery initially, the economy has struggled to grow much beyond its pre-pandemic size, and was only around 3.1 percent larger in December 2024, when compared with December 2019. Although the labor market has generally been quite resilient during this time, a long twenty-month period between 2021 and 2023 saw prices rise faster than wages, and inflation surge to a high of 11.1 percent in October 2022.

August 2024 marked a significant shift in the UK's monetary policy, as it saw the first reduction in the official bank base interest rate since August 2023. This change came after a period of consistent rate hikes that began in late 2021. In a bid to minimize the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank of England cut the official bank base rate in March 2020 to a record low of *** percent. This historic low came just one week after the Bank of England cut rates from **** percent to **** percent in a bid to prevent mass job cuts in the United Kingdom. It remained at *** percent until December 2021 and was increased to one percent in May 2022 and to **** percent in October 2022. After that, the bank rate increased almost on a monthly basis, reaching **** percent in August 2023. It wasn't until August 2024 that the first rate decrease since the previous year occurred, signaling a potential shift in monetary policy. Why do central banks adjust interest rates? Central banks, including the Bank of England, adjust interest rates to manage economic stability and control inflation. Their strategies involve a delicate balance between two main approaches. When central banks raise interest rates, their goal is to cool down an overheated economy. Higher rates curb excessive spending and borrowing, which helps to prevent runaway inflation. This approach is typically used when the economy is growing too quickly or when inflation is rising above desired levels. Conversely, when central banks lower interest rates, they aim to encourage borrowing and investment. This strategy is employed to stimulate economic growth during periods of slowdown or recession. Lower rates make it cheaper for businesses and individuals to borrow money, which can lead to increased spending and investment. This dual approach allows central banks to maintain a balance between promoting growth and controlling inflation, ensuring long-term economic stability. Additionally, adjusting interest rates can influence currency values, impacting international trade and investment flows, further underscoring their critical role in a nation's economic health. Recent interest rate trends Between 2021 and 2024, most advanced and emerging economies experienced a period of regular interest rate hikes. This trend was driven by several factors, including persistent supply chain disruptions, high energy prices, and robust demand pressures. These elements combined to create significant inflationary trends, prompting central banks to raise rates in an effort to temper spending and borrowing. However, in 2024, a shift began to occur in global monetary policy. The European Central Bank (ECB) was among the first major central banks to reverse this trend by cutting interest rates. This move signaled a change in approach aimed at addressing growing economic slowdowns and supporting growth.

The Software Development industry has made considerable progress over the past decade, as businesses and individuals have become reliant on electronic devices in many aspects of everyday lives. Online access to news, social media, video and other websites, as well as automated client relationships and advertising software, is now integral to modern culture. Software developers' revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 3.1% over the five years through 2024-25 to £45.8 billion. The adoption of cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) models has spurred consistent revenue growth, with the number of dedicated SaaS businesses surging. The years through 2024-25 saw the private sector championing demand for innovative applications that enhance operational efficiency and security. The rapid hike in IT and telecommunications adoption, most notably the adoption of smartphones and tablet computers, has driven the industry's growth in recent years. Economy-wide trends in business software investment have been a key determinant of industry performance. Despite a broader economic slowdown, businesses' reliance on cloud-based technologies to facilitate remote work arrangements was key to buoying sales and subscriptions. Mobile technology, cloud software and fintech have flourished, supporting industry growth. However, higher interest rates have made borrowing costlier, thereby tightening companies' investment budgets. This financial pressure has resulted in a more cautious approach to new software development initiatives, prioritising essential over exploratory projects, with revenue growth set to inch upwards by 2% in 2024-25, with industry profit also trending upwards. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is expected to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to £52.6 billion. The proliferation of smartphones and e-commerce growth will expand the industry in the coming years. As businesses continue digitising operations, sales of sophisticated software solutions are set to intensify. The anticipated expansion of 5G networks will play a pivotal role, driving demand for data processing and edge computing. However, challenges loom with the greater burden of corporation tax rate potentially impacting profit. UK technology companies will likely find it increasingly difficult to recruit skilled employees and operate within an inward-turning economy. However, new technologies like cloud computing are likely to support industry expansion through more challenging conditions. These emerging niche technologies will attract new entrants to the industry. Large developers will likely absorb some smaller companies to expand their specialisation in new and lucrative segments. The UK remains a fertile ground for software innovation, ensuring the industry remains crucial to the economy's digital future.

UK Commercial Property Reit Ltd stock may see an upward trend due to strong rental demand and low vacancy rates. However, risks include rising interest rates, which could impact property values and reduce demand. There is also a risk that the UK economy could slow down, which could lead to decreased demand for commercial property.

The 1964-1970 Wilson governments were committed to economic planning and consensus with both sides of industry, designed to deliver 4 per cent growth and industrial modernization. But it achieved only 2.4 per cent average annual growth. This arose from a lack of confidence, arising from a weak external balance, on the part of the financial markets that the sterling-dollar rate of 1£=$2.80 was sustainable. Ultimately the pound was devalued by 14.3 per cent in November 1967.

Wilson’s defence of the pound has often been criticized. It has been argued that by drawing on external support to supplement the reserves Labour gave overriding influence over macroeconomic policy to foreign central bankers and the IMF whose main concern was not growth but a fall in imports, to be achieved by deflation. Devaluation, it is said, would have freed Britain from such influences. Yet the evidence suggests that throughout 1964-67 the case for an adjustment was not as powerful as has been assumed. Only in the autumn of 1967 did devaluation become inescapable, following bad trade figures occasioned by dock strikes, a global economic slowdown and the closure of the Suez Canal during and after the Arab-Israeli War. The events of 1968, when the exchange rate came under renewed pressure and the budget was by the government’s own admission ‘punishing’ suggests the choice between disinflation and devaluation may have been illusory. At the same time the measures taken to protect Sterling after 1964 were largely successful exercises in the control of speculative forces which were gaining strength in an increasingly interdependent world economy. The government’s actions reveal a commitment to managed markets at home and within the international environment: they were not rewarded with rapid growth but by 1970 they had arguably freed the UK from its ‘balance of payment constraints’.

Main Topics:

The material falls into two distinct parts. First, there is a set of graphs covering aspects of macroeconomic policy and outcome. Most of these have been compiled using material in the time series data provided in National Statistics Online. Particular attention is paid to the balance of payments. The period covered sometimes extends beyond the years under investigation (1964-1970), in order to achieve some sense of relative performance.

The second part consists of files of my own research notes covering key aspects of the study. Three of these are chronologies of crucial events (the 1965 Sterling crisis, the 1967 devaluation of Sterling, a narrative of the troubled history of Sterling in 1968). The fourth is a discussion of macroeconomic policy in 1965-67. These notes are based on secondary and, above all, on primary source material. The greater part of the latter was found in the National Archives, Kew, London.

The format of these research notes varies between summaries of events, documents and leading actors’ views (as recorded in their published diaries), and some discursive sections arising from my own interrogation of the source material. They provide the raw material for the published work which has started to emerge from this project.

The UK economy grew by 0.7 percent in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 0.1 percent growth in the previous quarter. After ending 2023 in recession, the UK economy grew strongly in the first half of 2024, growing by 0.8 percent in Q1, and 0.4 percent in Q2, with growth slowing in the second half of the year. In the third quarter of 2020 the UK experienced record setting growth of 16.8 percent, which itself followed the record 20.3 percent contraction in Q2 2020. Growing economy key to Labour's plans Since winning the 2024 general election, the UK's Labour Party have seen their popularity fall substantially. In February 2025, the government's approval rating fell to a low of -54 percent, making them almost as disliked as the Conservatives just before the last election. A string of unpopular policies since taking office have taken a heavy toll on support for the government. Labour hope they can reverse their declining popularity by growing the economy, which has underperformed for several years, and when measured in GDP per capita, fell in 2023, and 2024. Steady labor market trends set to continue? After a robust 2022, the UK labor market remained resilient throughout 2023 and 2024. The unemployment rate at the end of 2024 was 4.4 percent, up from four percent at the start of the year, but still one of the lowest rates on record. While the average number of job vacancies has been falling since a May 2022 peak, there was a slight increase in January 2025 when compared with the previous month. The more concerning aspect of the labor market, from the government's perspective, are the high levels of economic inactivity due to long-term sickness, which reached a peak of 2.84 million in late 2023, and remained at high levels throughout 2024.

The Scottish economy, such as the United Kingdom (UK) economy, has been exposed to several adverse shocks over the past 5 years. Examples of these are the effect of the United Kingdom exiting the European Union (Brexit), the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and more recently Russia–Ukraine war, which can result in adverse direct and indirect economic losses across various sectors of the economy. These shocks disrupted the food and drink supply chains. The purpose of this article is 3-fold: (1) to explore the degree of resilience of the Scottish food and drink sector, (2) to estimate the effects on interconnected sectors of the economy, and (3) to estimate the economic losses, which is the financial value associated with the reduction in output. This article focuses on the impact that the sudden contraction that the “accommodation and food service activities”, resulting from the pandemic, had on the food and drink sectors. For this analysis, the study relied on the dynamic inoperability input–output model (DIIM), which takes into account the relationships across the different sectors of the Scottish economy over time. The results indicate that the accommodation and food service sector was the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown contracting by approximately 60%. The DIIM shows that the disruption to this sector had a cascading effect on the remaining 17 sectors of the economy. The processed and preserved fish, fruits, and vegetable sector is the least resilient, while preserved meat and meat product sector is the most resilient to the final demand disruption in the accommodation and food service sector. The least economically affected sector was the other food product sector, while the other service sector had the highest economic loss. Although the soft drink sector had a slow recovery rate, economic losses were lower compared to the agricultural, fishery, and forestry sectors. From the policy perspective, stakeholders in the accommodation and food service sector should re-examine the sector and develop capacity against future pandemics. In addition, it is important for economic sectors to collaborate either vertically or horizontally by sharing information and risk to reduce the burden of future disruptions. Finally, the most vulnerable sectors of the economy, i.e., other service sectors should form a major part of government policy decision-making when planning against future pandemics.

Europe's Precious and Non-Ferrous Metal Manufacturing industry has had a volatile run recently, heavily impacted by fluctuating metal prices and the far-reaching effects of the pandemic. A significant presence scattered across the continent, including Germany, France, Italy and Eastern Europe, ensures a highly competitive market. However, it's also laden with challenges due to growing imports from cost-effective Asian countries, primarily China. The high volatility in metal prices, coupled with a drop in demand from various sectors during the pandemic and the recent economic slowdown in 2023 and 2024, has weighed on industry revenue. Still, revenue is projected to contract at a compound annual rate of 6.2% to €321.6 billion over the five years through 2025. The easing of restrictions and the rebound in economic activity brought a surge in demand for metals from downstream manufacturing industries and construction in 2021. However, soaring inflation in 2022 and the energy crisis triggered by the Russia-Ukraine conflict disrupted manufacturers heavily by severely raising production costs. Even though gold prices remained high due to ongoing uncertainty, reduced demand adversely affected most non-ferrous metals. Metal price fluctuations and intense competition, including inexpensive imports from China, have constrained profit since 2022. Demand from car manufacturers and the boom in electric vehicles (EVs) should bolster growth prospects. The rising use of aluminium and copper in EVs offers opportunities for non-ferrous metal manufacturers. Expanding the construction sector across Europe will also fuel demand for non-ferrous metals. However, fluctuating metal prices and competition from Asian, primarily Chinese, imports could somewhat dampen growth. Sustainability will be a significant factor in shaping the industry's trajectory. European manufacturers will need to align with the push for a circular economy and focus on reducing CO2 emissions through modernised processes and recycling practices. Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 6.3% to €437.4 billion over the five years through 2030.

A recent analysis on the impact of Brexit suggests that in 2023, the United Kingdom's economy was *** percent smaller than it would have been in a base scenario where the UK never left the EU. The estimated hit to the UK's gross domestic product (GDP) increases to ***** percent in 2024, and to *** percent by 2025 in this forecast. UK growth cut at start of turbulent 2025 After growing by *** percent in 2024, the UK economy is expected to grow by *** percent in 2025, down from an earlier forecast of *** percent. As of 2025, the UK economy is approximately *** percent larger than it was just before the COVID-19 pandemic five years earlier, which delivered a sudden and severe economic shock to the country. While the initial bounce back from this collapse was robust, the recovery slowed by the end of 2020, and it wasn't until late 2021 that the economy returned to its pre-pandemic size. Throughout 2022 and 2023, the economy continued to struggle, and even experienced a recession at the end of 2023. How voters feel about Brexit in 2025 Since the middle of 2021, a growing majority of voters in Britain have advised that they think Brexit was the wrong decision. As of January 2025, around ** percent thought it was wrong to leave the EU, compared with just ** percent in April 2021. By comparison, the share of Britons who think Brexit was the right decision has fallen from ** percent to ** percent in the same time period. Voters are, however, still quite divided on what relationship they want with the EU, with only ** percent supporting rejoining completely. Furthermore, Brexit has fallen behind other issues for voters such as the economy, the NHS, and immigration and the issue played a much smaller role in the 2024 election than it did in 2019.

Power ratings span from small-scale kilowatts to large-scale megawatts, and generators can be tailored to specific voltage and frequency requirements. Modern diesel generators incorporate advanced features such as automatic voltage regulation, automatic transfer switches, and remote monitoring capabilities. Recent developments include: March 2022: Power Electrics Generators (PEG) have been purchased by DTGen, a UK-based provider of gas and diesel generators, for an unknown sum. With locations in the Midlands, Scotland, and the south, DTGen hopes to increase its capacity and experience while gaining national coverage across the UK as a result of the agreement to purchase PEG's sales and projects section., October 2021: The new SD 20 diesel generator set for mobile commercial applications was introduced by Cummins Inc. The SD 20 is well suited for a range of trailer and vehicle applications, including ambulances, food trucks, mobile command centres, utility boom trucks, mobile medical, and disaster assistance., October 2021: The MDE330 and MDE570 diesel mobile generators, two new large diesel units from Generac Mobile that are designed to be simple to operate and maintain, were introduced. Wide-opening removable doors are a feature of the rental-ready machines that maximise serviceability by enabling the technician to access all service locations., December 2019: The new Industrial DC Diesel Generator Set was introduced by Generac Holdings Inc. In addition to wireless communication and telecom applications, hybrid energy systems, and DC power solutions, the new SDC015 Industrial Diesel Generator is made to be used as a backup for a variety of international applications., February 2024- The distributor of Himoinsa and Yorpower diesel generators in Bangladesh, ACI Motors, has come to rise as the leader in the market this fiscal year 2023-24, as per the statement by its Executive Director Subrata Ranjan Das. In the latest interview, he stated that the business standard the market size for diesel generators with a capacity of nearly 10-3,000 KVA slowed down by nearly 8% in the last fiscal year and is anticipated to deal with the same this year as well, because of the inflation and economic slowdown. At the same time, the dollar crisis made timely imports a hard job. On the other hand, the escalating demand for quality products and services among the current projects assisted the company in beating other brands, gaining market share, and emerging as the market leader. Among the nearly 600 diesel generators purchased in 2023 for megaprojects, industries, and real estate projects, Himoinsa's and Yorpower's market share was 21% and 24%, respectively. FG Wilson, Tempest, Ferbo, CAT, and Welland Power were the followers, respectively., April 2024- A prominent leader in the supply and global distribution of diesel, petrol, and OEM-manufactured generators, GFE Power Products, has lately received a significant export order to Africa. As one of just several of many orders the company has supposedly finished on the continent in recent months, GFE dispatched a substantial export order of high-quality generators from its UK distribution center to Côte d'Ivoire. The order included a diversity of generator brands comprising generators from Caterpillar (DE110GC and DE88GC models) and Perkins Powered range (GFE165PLC 150kVA diesel generator). The client said that after staying with the GFE team in the UK, they knew they were the business to support them.. Key drivers for this market are: Growing Demand For Continuous Power Supply 33, Cost Efficiency Of Diesel Generators 34. Notable trends are: Rising infrastructure investments to boost market growth.

With a Gross Domestic Product of over 4.18 trillion Euros, the German economy was by far the largest in Europe in 2023. The similarly sized economies of the United Kingdom and France were the second and third largest economies in Europe during this year, followed by Italy and Spain. The smallest economy in this statistic is that of the small Balkan nation of Montenegro, which had a GDP of 5.7 billion Euros. In this year, the combined GDP of the 27 member states that compose the European Union amounted to approximately 17.1 trillion Euros. The big five Germany’s economy has consistently had the largest economy in Europe since 1980, even before the reunification of West and East Germany. The United Kingdom, by contrast, has had mixed fortunes during the same period and had a smaller economy than Italy in the late 1980s. The UK also suffered more than the other major economies during the recession of the late 2000s, meaning the French economy was the second largest on the continent for some time afterward. The Spanish economy was continually the fifth-largest in Europe in this 38-year period, and from 2004 onwards, has been worth more than one trillion Euros. The smallest GDP, the highest economic growth in Europe Despite having the smallerst GDP of Europe, Montenegro emerged as the fastest growing economy in the continent, achieving an impressive annual growth rate of 4.5 percent, surpassing Turkey's growth rate of 4 percent. Overall,this Balkan nation has shown a remarkable economic recovery since the 2010 financial crisis, with its GDP projected to grow by 28.71 percent between 2024 and 2029. Contributing to this positive trend are successful tourism seasons in recent years, along with increased private consumption and rising imports. Europe's economic stagnation Malta, Albania, Iceland, and Croatia were among the countries reporting some of the highest growth rates this year. However, Europe's overall performance reflected a general slowdown in growth compared to the trend seen in 2021, during the post-pandemic recovery. Estonia experienced the sharpest negative growth in 2023, with its economy shrinking by 2.3% compared to 2022, primarily due to the negative impact of sanctions placed on its large neighbor, Russia. Other nations, including Sweden, Germany, and Finland, also recorded slight negative growth.

Economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures have spurred a degree of instability in the UK economy in recent years. This has spurred a reluctance among private investors to dedicate significant spending towards capital ventures, weighing on lead generation in commercial building construction markets. High construction costs and rising interest rates have led to further apprehension among property developers to engage in new ventures, though long-term government capital procurement frameworks have provided some resilience to wavering provate investemt. Revenue is slated to rise at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2024-25, reaching £22.8 billion. Aided by the release of pent up demand and a stronger than anticipated initial economic recovery from the pandemic, the industry recorded a strong rebound in new orders from pandemic-induced lows in 2021-22, particularly in private commercial and private industrial markets. However, capacity constraints and the impact of reduced new work volumes secured during the height of the pandemic limited output growth. Growth in new order volumes slowed in 2022-23, as economic uncertainty compounded and rising tender prices reduced the propensity of investors to commit to commercial real estate ventures. High borrowing costs continued to weigh on investor sentiment in 2023-24. However, a steady stream of work on projects procured through capital procurement frameworks, including Procure23 and the School Rebuilding Programme, is set to maintain revenue growth through the current year. Revenue is expected to increase by 6.6% in 2024-25. Revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 0.3% to reach £23.2 billion over the five years through 2029-30. The effects of the UK's economic slowdown will continue to bite in the near term, as weak order books limit remuneration. Input price inflation is set to continue to ease in the medium term. However, material costs are likely to remain elevated and a construction worker shortage will pressure profit. Commitments made by the government as part of capital procurement frameworks will continue to support demand for commercial building contractors in the coming years, while private sector order books should improve as borrowing costs come down.
