19 May 2025 UK Monitor Week in Review: Solid Q1, fading tariff drag boost growth forecasts

  • Strong underlying growth momentum and President Trump’s backtracking on tariffs boost our forecasts.
  • We boost our growth forecasts to 1.1% and 1.2% in 2025 and 2026 respectively, each up 0.2pp..
  • We see risks to the consensus, and the MPC’s forecast, for April CPI skewed heavily upwards.
