Three things we've learnt about the UK economy from the IMF

The IMF states that the UK economy is weathering the US-Israel-Iran war better than expected, with a forecasted growth of 1.3% in 2026. The UK stands out among G7 countries for managing its borrowing better, thanks to a government committed to reducing the deficit. The UK is also expected to have the second-fastest economic growth in the G7 this year, with a forecast of 1.3% in 2026 and an improved outlook compared to earlier predictions.
