Abstract

  • The economy will shrink by 4.3 per cent this year, and then experience a weak recovery, with GDP rising by 0.9 per cent in 2010.

  • The unemployment rate will peak at 9.6 per cent in 2011.

  • Consumer spending will fall by 3.7 per cent this year and a further 1.1 per cent in 2010.

  • The recovery will be driven by net trade, which will contribute 1.2 per cent to GDP growth in both 2010 and 2011.

  • The medium-term outlook for government finances is grim, with public sector net borrowing forecast at 8.6 per cent of GDP in 2013–14
