flag UK inflation to hit G7 high in 2025, IMF warns against early rate cuts despite growth upgrade.

flag The International Monetary Fund projects UK inflation will reach the highest level among G7 nations in 2025 and 2026, rising to 3.4% in 2025 and easing slightly to 2.5% in 2026, driven by food, hospitality, labor, and tax costs. flag Despite a growth upgrade to 1.3% for 2025, the 2026 forecast was cut to 1.3% due to global trade pressures. flag The IMF cautioned against premature interest rate cuts, citing persistent inflation risks. flag Global growth for 2025 was raised to 3.2%, supported by forward-looking spending ahead of tariffs. flag UK political leaders reacted with mixed views, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves welcoming the growth update and opposition figures criticizing economic management.
