Los economistas pronostican un breve auge en el RU seguido de una caída para 2023
May 17, 2021 - Los economistas pronostican que el RU liderará la recuperación económica europea con su más rápido crecimiento en cerca de 50 años, antes de que los efectos del Brexit y la baja productividad lo lleven a la zaga de las grandes economías europeas para 2023.
The United Kingdom will lead Europe's economic recovery with its fastest growth since 1973, before sliding to the bottom of the leader board in 2023, economists forecast.
Predictions for 2021 see UK growth to 6%, putting it ahead of Germany, France, Italy and Spain, thanks in the main to its rapid vaccine rollout – allowing lockdown restrictions to relax early.
Looking ahead further, however, analysts predict growth of just 1.7% for 2023, falling due to the long-term effects of Brexit and the country's lagging productivity – meaning it will fall behind its European peers.
