National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecasts growing economy post-Brexit…
Fears for the future of Britain’s economy should be eased according to forecasts from the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR).
In an article featured on The Telegraph, Britain’s economy will keep growing steadily in the coming years, slowing only a touch in 2017 in response to the Brexit vote, with the UK expected to grow by 1.7% during 2017, 1.9% by 2018 and 2.1pc in 2019, compared with growth of 2% in 2016.
The steady numbers are defying the initial post-referendum predictions of a dramatic slowdown, though NIESR does note that its own pre-referendum forecasts were for much stronger growth in 2017. The figures mean the UK is on track to grow more quickly than the eurozone, which is set for a 1.5% expansion this year, and Japan, which is likely to grow by 0.7%. The US will grow more quickly, however, at an anticipated 2.1%, while the OECD group of advanced economies is projected to expand at 1.8%.

An Oxfam report on wealth and inequality, entitled “An economy for the 99%” finds super-rich people like Gates have seen their wealth collectively grow by huge margins over the last decade. Within the next 25 years, Gates’ wealth could jump like never seen before.
