The UK Economy

Abstract

The UK economy will soon be completing the third year of recovery from the low point of the business cycle reached in the second quarter of 1992. Since that time output has risen by close to 8 per cent and now stands at 4 per cent above its previous peak. Over the recovery phase of the cycle, output in the onshore economy has grown at an average rate of 2.7 per cent per annum, with the annual rate of expansion accelerating to reach 3.7 per cent in the last quarter of 1994. This rate of growth is certainly in excess of that which the economy can sustain in the long term. Unsustainable growth eventually leads to inflationary pressure as firms, faced with strong product demand, push up their prices. Depending on the attitude of the monetary authorities, this leads either to a period of higher inflation or to tighter policy and higher interest rates to prevent inflation speeding up.
