CBI revises down UK GDP growth to 1.2% for 2025
UK economy is facing slow growth, with the CBI downgrading GDP forecasts to 1.2 per cent for 2025 and 1 per cent for 2026 due to weak demand, rising employment costs, and global uncertainty. Business investment and hiring are subdued, while inflation remains elevated. The CBI urges government-business collaboration and a robust industrial strategy to address productivity, skills, and energy costs.
