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.
