14 Nov 2022 UK Monitor Britain will Be the First into Recession, and the Last One Out

  • The U.K. is the only G7 country in which GDP fell in Q3
    and has never recovered to its pre-Covid peak.
  • Households’ real spending will keep falling until the end of 2023, as fiscal and monetary headwinds intensify.
  • Higher interest rates will weigh on business investment and trigger a sharp downturn in residential investment.

8 Nov 2022 UK Monitor September GDP Data to Reveal a Recession-Bound Economy

  • We think GDP dropped by 0.5% month-to-month in September; business surveys were very weak...
  • ...And the extra public holiday for the Queen’s funeral likely was more damaging than the Jubilee holiday.
  • A peak-to-trough fall in GDP of about 2.3% likely lies ahead, similar in scale to the early 1990s recession.

28 Sept 2022 UK Monitor Surveys Point to a Small Drop in GDP in Q3, but this is Just the Start

  • PMI and confidence data for September suggest GDP edged down for a second consecutive quarter in Q3.
  • The downturn will gather momentum, as borrowing costs for households and businesses soar.
  • We now look for a 1.5% year-over-year decline in GDP in 2023, and CPI inflation not to return to 2% until 2025.

13 Sept 2022 UK Monitor Q3 GDP Set to be Unchanged from Q2, Undershooting the MPC's forecast

  • June's 0.2% month-to-month rise in GDP was due to the unwinding of the Jubilee hit; the trend is flat.
  • We’re pencilling-in a 0.2pp hit to September GDP from the extra public holiday, but can’t rule out a bigger fall.
  • Even excluding the impact of the Queen’s funeral, Q3 GDP looks set to undershoot the MPC’s forecast.

7 Sept 2022 UK Monitor July GDP to Show the Economy has Slowed, but is Not in Recession Yet

  • We look for a modest 0.3% month-to-month rise in July
    GDP, leaving it only 0.1% up from three months earlier.
  • The composite PMI has pointed to stronger growth, but it excludes the distribution and health sectors.
  • Revised GDP estimates later this month likely will show that economic activity still is below its pre-Covid peak.

1 Sept 2022 UK Monitor Capex will Continue to Recover, Despite the Risk of Recession

  • Business investment rose again in Q2, as key uncertainties faded and supply constraints began to ease.
  • We expect a further rebound in H2; balance sheets are strong and investment intentions still are high.
  • But we doubt capex will return to its pre-Brexit share of GDP; the U.K is a less desirable place to invest.
