flag UK growth slows to 0.9% in 2026 amid tax hikes, rate stability, and weakening consumer confidence.

flag Britain’s economic growth is projected to slow to 0.9% in 2026 from 1.4% in 2025, driven by ongoing tax increases, spending constraints, and global uncertainty. flag Business investment is expected to contract slightly by 0.2%, reversing prior growth. flag The Bank of England is forecast to hold its interest rate at 3.75% with one cut expected in April as inflation reaches the 2% target. flag While lower rates may ease financial pressure, rising unemployment and slowing pay growth are expected to dampen consumer confidence. flag Modest spending is anticipated due to reduced saving by higher earners, despite a widening confidence gap between income groups.
