  • Growth recovers to average around 1.75% over the rest of the decade
  • OBR: underlying fiscal outlook has deteriorated since October
  • if global trade disputes escalate to include 20 pct pt rises in tariffs between the USA and the rest of the world, this could reduce UK GDP by a peak of 1% and reduce current surpluses in the target year to almost zero

  • UK finance minister Reeves says to raise extra 1 bln stg by tackling tax evasion
  • UK finance minister Reeves says this statement contains no further tax increases
  • OBR: Borrowing is projected to be 3.5 billion pounds higher and debt 0.6% of gdp higher at the end of the decade than in our October forecast
  • UK’s Reeves: this statement does not contain any further tax increases

  • CPI seen at 3.2% in 2025 vs 2.6% in October
