 UK Economic Outlook: The Macroeconomic Outlook for the United KingdomPaula Bejarano Carbo (), Hailey Low, Leaza McSorley (), Stephen Millard and Kemar Whyte () National Institute UK Economic Outlook, 2023, issue 11, 7-44 Abstract: As we publish our Summer Economic Outlook, we continue to expect the United Kingdom to steer clear of a recession in 2023. Nevertheless, the country faces a challenging economic outlook as growth remains sluggish and the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) struggles to tame high inflation. Economic activity has slowed considerably, relative to 2022, as supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine exposed the economy to a deterioration in its productive capacity. Momentum remains weak as labour market participation has also declined, mainly on account of rising long-term illness, and aggressive policy rate hikes – needed to tackle high and persistent inflation – have tightened financial conditions. And real personal disposable income, consumption and GDP all remain below their pre-Covid peaks.
