Prospects for the UK Economy

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research published its quarterly report on the UK economy on the 31 July 2018.

It said that the UK economy was facing an unusual level of uncertainty because of Brexit. This uncertainty primarily stemmed from the yet to be defined relationship between the UK and the EU but also from the economy’s response to the new framework once it emerged. The UK government’s White Paper, which set out its preferences for that new relationship, had failed to unite the government or Parliament, leaving open an entire spectrum of possible outcomes.
