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.
