Coronavirus is already impacting the UK economy - Bank of England’s Carney

CNBC reports that the United Kingdom is already seeing an economic impact from the coronavirus outbreak, the outgoing Bank of England governor told Sky News.

The outbreak of the new coronavirus, which is believed to have originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, has spread worldwide and is raising concerns about the global economy.

The British economy, which relies to a large extent on tourism revenues and manufacturing, is already seeing the impact, Mark Carney told Sky News.

"What we are picking up with some of our bigger companies and companies around the world, that is spreading out through the co-called supply chains. So, when they use parts and components to produce goods or, for example, for Jaguar Land Rover in the Midlands, you know, things are getting a little tight," he said.

Data out earlier this month showed that the British economy stagnated at the end of 2019. Car production figures were particularly downbeat in that period, seeing a 1.9% contraction.

Carney, who's due to leave the Bank of England next month, also noted other examples such as a decline in tourism.

"We see it in our streets here in the United Kingdom. That is lower activity as well," he said.
