Chapter V. Policies for Faster Growth

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  26 March 2020

Abstract

The conclusion of the previous analysis is that output at the end of the year may be about 12 per cent higher than in mid-1961, and that fixed capital expenditure will probably have begun to fall. Although the check to home demand should hold down imports, and although external conditions are expected to be unusually favourable to British exports, the balance of payments is unlikely to be good.

By 1961 the levels in the three countries must have been about equal.
