The Economic Outlook for London

The recent economic slowdown was very visible in London, with the capital leading the UK into the downturn — employment peaked in London in the first quarter of 2001, a year earlier than in the rest of the country. Now that recovery in the UK economy appears to be well-established, this article considers how this is reflected in improved prospects for the London economy.     

The Economic Outlook for London

After a period of rapid growth in the first half of the year, the UK economy hit a softer patch in the summer. This article looks at whether this softer patch threatens the recovery in London from the significant shake-out of jobs in 2000–2002, which had previously looked to be underway. It concludes that fewer net new jobs are likely to be created in London this year than we expected six months ago, but that employment growth is still expected to exceed the UK average in 2005 and 2006.     

The Economic Outlook for London

The strength of London's economy has been very apparent over the past year, after a period when the potential for recovery was clear but there was less hard evidence. Financial services have clearly played a large part in driving the acceleration in London's growth, with stock markets, M&A activity and profitability all strong over the last 18 months. London's growth has also been bolstered by strong international immigration. Our latest forecasts show a modest slowdown in London's economy next year from a robust 3.9% in 2006, in response to higher UK interest rates and weaker growth in both the US and the Eurozone. But employment in London is still forecast to rise by 1.2% in 2007, with GDP expected to grow by 2.9% in London compared with 2.3% in the UK as whole.
