 UK Economic Outlook: The Macroeconomic Outlook for the United KingdomPaula Bejarano Carbo (), Hailey Low, Leaza McSorley (), Stephen Millard, Urvish Patel () and Kemar Whyte () National Institute UK Economic Outlook, 2023, issue 9, 6-39 Abstract: In the period between our autumn and winter forecasts the UK economic outlook has somewhat stabilised. This is in part due a return to economic orthodoxy. Chancellor Hunt delivered an Autumn Statement on 17 November based, as convention, on Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts and His Majesty's Treasury (HMT) financial costings. A demonstration that the UK Government is once again willing to work with, rather than rally against, our economic institutions. Compared to recent economic turmoil the intervening few months have appeared calm, with a better than forecast outturn in monthly GDP suggesting that the economy will grow in the fourth quarter of 2022, keeping the United Kingdom out of a 'technical recession', record low unemployment, and the Bank of England moderating slightly on its pessimistic November forecast. As noted in our recent GDP Tracker (Bejarano Carbo and Nowinska 2022) we now expect GDP to grow by 0.1 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2022 relative to the third quarter. However, is this apparent period of calm a lull before another economic storm?
