NIESR cites 60% risk of UK recession during British elections
UK's leading thinktank, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), said late Tuesday, per The Guardian, that it would take until the third quarter (Q3) of 2024 for British output to return to its pre-pandemic peak.
“There was a 60% risk of the government going to the polls during a recession,” adds the NIESR per The Guardian.
The NIESR’s quarterly update also states that the poorest tenth of the population had been especially hard hit by Britain’s cost of living crisis and would need an income boost of £4,000 a year to have the same living standards they enjoyed in the year before Covid-19 arrived.
It’s worth noting, however, that the NIESR appears divided about witnessing a contraction in British economic activity during late 2023.
