UK Recession Expected to Be Deeper Than in Most Advanced
Economies
0837 GMT - The U.K. economy is set to fall into a recession,
which is likely to cause a 2% peak-to-trough fall in GDP, a bigger
slump than what is expected in other advanced economies, Pantheon
Macroeconomics senior U.K. economist Gabriella Dickens says in a
note. Household finances will be hit hard by the rapid withdrawal
of energy bills support, while higher interest rates will also
squeeze incomes of those who have to refinance their mortgage, she
says. Better news might come on the inflation front, as price
growth has likely peaked and is expected to fall fast in 2023,
Dickens says. Pantheon expects inflation to average 6.5% in 2023,
less than the 6.9% consensus estimate from economists taken from
FactSet. (xavier.fontdegloria@wsj.com)
