Brexit impact on UK economy 'negative for foreseeable future,' Bank of England chief says
Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey links slower UK growth to Brexit-related trade restrictions and policies, with potential growth rate falling from 2.5% to 1.5% over 15 years.
- At a Washington, DC seminar on Saturday, Andrew Bailey warned Brexit will negatively impact the UK's economic growth for the foreseeable future, citing long-term declines.
- Bailey said the slowdown stems from lower productivity growth, an ageing population, trade restrictions and post-Brexit economic policies, referencing the Smithian growth model.
- ONS data show GDP rose 0.1% in August after falling 0.1% in July, with three-month growth increasing to 0.3% from 0.2%.
- With next month's budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces pressure after muted growth and a surprise July contraction, while the International Monetary Fund forecast UK inflation will surge highest in the G7 in 2025 and 2026.
- On longer-term prospects, Bailey said the economy will adjust and urged investment in innovation and AI as the best hope, warning AI may threaten financial stability.
