http://news.sky.com/story/1151741/ec...orecast-u-turn Check the Graph [The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded its forecast for UK economic growth by more than any other major economy, in a boost to the Chancellor's fortunes. It comes only six months after the IMF downgraded its expectations for the British economy and warned that George Osborne's policies were the economic equivalent of “playing with fire". In its six-monthly World Economic Outlook, the IMF predicted that the UK's gross domestic product - the broadest measure of economic growth - would increase by 1.4% this year and 1.9% in 2014. That compares to a forecast of just 0.9% and 1.5% respectively when it last updated its projections in July. It came as the IMF downgraded its forecast for global GDP this year by 0.3 percentage points to 2.9%. The rapid change in attitude will be welcomed by the Chancellor, who is due to attend the IMF’s annual meeting in Washington later this week.] |
