UK economic growth to stay subdued in 2026: report

The outlook of British economic growth will remain subdued in 2026 as the Budget released in late November is unlikely to kickstart the economy, a forecast from the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has shown.

The country's GDP is expected to expand 1.2 percent next year, lower than the 1.4-percent growth in 2025, according to the forecast released on Wednesday.
