UNITED KINGDOM - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The UK, a leading trading
power and financial center, is the third largest economy in Europe after
Germany and France. Over the past two decades, the government has greatly
reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs.
Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European
standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor
force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil resources, but its oil and
natural gas reserves are declining and the UK became a net importer of energy
in 2005. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services,
account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to
decline in importance. After emerging from recession in 1992, Britain's economy
enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record during which time growth
outpaced most of Western Europe. In 2008, however, the global financial crisis
hit the economy particularly hard, due to the importance of its financial
sector. Sharply declining home prices, high consumer debt, and the global
economic slowdown compounded Britain's economic problems, pushing the economy
into recession in the latter half of 2008 and prompting the then BROWN (Labour)
government to implement a number of measures to stimulate the economy and
stabilize the financial markets; these include nationalizing parts of the
banking system, temporarily cutting taxes, suspending public sector borrowing
rules, and moving forward public spending on capital projects. Facing
burgeoning public deficits and debt levels, in 2010 the CAMERON-led coalition
government (between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) initiated a five-year
austerity program, which aims to lower London's budget deficit from over 10% of
GDP in 2010 to nearly 1% by 2015. In November 2011, Chancellor of the Exchequer
George OSBORNE announced additional austerity measures through 2017 because of
slower-than-expected economic growth and the impact of the euro-zone debt
crisis. The CAMERON government raised the value added tax from 17.5% to 20% in
2011. It has pledged to reduce the corporation tax rate to 23% by 2015. The
Bank of England (BoE) implemented an asset purchase program of up to £325
billion (approximately $525 billion) as of February 2011. During times of
economic crisis, the BoE coordinates interest rate moves with the European
Central Bank, but Britain remains outside the European Economic and Monetary
Union (EMU).
