Inflation Continues to Cast a Shadow over Firms

Responding to the latest inflation data published by the Office for National Statistics, Caterina Batog, Research and Economics Analyst at the British Chambers of Commerce, said:

“Ahead of next week’s Budget, today’s data showing CPI rose to 3.5% in September is a stark reminder of the growing price pressures in the UK economy. Once again fuel prices were the main driver behind a slightly higher than expected rise.

“Inflation is casting a dark shadow over the businesses we represent, who are already struggling with a succession of high costs.

Shock fall in unemployment a boost for the Government but UK’s NEET crisis persists

The drop in UK unemployment to 4.7% provides a boost for the economy, reversing a worrying trend marked by falling vacancies and falling confidence. This follows the upbeat news from the IMF last week that the economy is expected to grow by 1.3% this year, placing the Chancellor in a better-than-expected position as we approach the Autumn Budget.

However, this should not be mistaken for a decisive turning point. The emerging picture for 2027 is one of an economy marked by weak recruitment and cautious business confidence, conditions that are likely to slow down growth in the months ahead.

Growth Welcome But More Breathing Space Needed

Responding to the latest GDP data, published this morning by the Office for National Statistics, Stuart Morrison, Research Manager at the British Chambers of Commerce said: 

“Ahead of the budget, growth of 0.7% in the three months to August is welcome and a positive indicator of business resilience despite challenging economic conditions.

“This expansion was driven entirely by services, led by professional, scientific and technical activities, and information and communication, while production and construction both fell. Computer programming and consultancy has been the largest single industry contributor to three-month growth for six months in a row.

Exports Lagging As Economy Grows

Reacting to the latest ONS trade data, William Bain, Head of Trade Policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, said:

“July’s improved export performance was not sustained in August, and for goods trade it almost completely reversed. Looking at the three-month picture, goods exports also fell, with the EU seeing the biggest drop.

“Services trade was steady, but growth was slow in August and flat across the three months. It is concerning that, while there is evidence the economy is proving robust, trade is falling behind, especially around overseas goods sales.
