Chancellor Rachel Reeves has voiced concerns over the UK's sluggish economic growth, which is projected at just 0.75 percent for the coming months. Despite a recent interest rate cut by the Bank of England, which lowered rates from 4.75 to 4.5 percent, the overall economic outlook remains bleak with rising unemployment and inflation rates expected. While this rate cut may benefit mortgage holders, the significant drop in growth projections since November raises alarms about the country's economic stability. Additionally, UK house prices have seen a modest increase, reaching record averages, adding complexity to the economic landscape.
As Chancellor Rachel Reeves stated, the interest rate cut is welcome news; however, she expressed her dissatisfaction with the current growth rate of the UK economy.
The forecast predicts a UK growth rate of only 0.75 percent, significantly lower than earlier projections, indicating economic challenges ahead.
