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. 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, are key drivers of British GDP
growth. Manufacturing, meanwhile, has declined in importance but still accounts
for about 10% of economic output. 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. Falling 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 included 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 aimed to lower London's budget deficit from about 11%
of GDP in 2010 to nearly 1% by 2015. In November 2011, Chancellor of the
Exchequer George OSBORNE announced additional austerity measures through 2017
largely due to 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 21% by 2014. The Bank of England (BoE) implemented an
asset purchase program of £375 billion (approximately $605 billion) as of
December 2013. 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). In 2012, weak consumer spending and
subdued business investment weighed on the economy, however, in 2013 GDP grew
1.4%, accelerating unexpectedly in the second half of the year because of
greater consumer spending and a recovering housing market. The budget deficit
is falling but remains high at nearly 7% and public debt has continued to increase.
