The OBR’s most recent forecast was published in March 2019 and can be accessed at https://obr.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2019/. The UK economy remains resilient, growing for the ninth consecutive year in 2018. The employment rate is currently at a record high, unemployment is currently at its lowest rate since 1974, and real wages are rising.</p><p> </p><p>In October 2018 the IMF estimated the impact of a trade tensions escalation. They estimated the impact would be global real GDP 0.2% lower in 2019 and 0.21% lower in the long term. The analysis also highlighted that the near term negative impact could be exacerbated by a decline in confidence and market reaction.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has consistently stressed the importance of de-escalating trade tensions, which are in no one’s interest.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 20/05/2019 15:59:11 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
