However, its 1.7 per cent growth forecast for 2023 is significantly lower than Fitch\u2019s prediction of a 2.2 per cent expansion in output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK economy is anticipated to grow faster than both the US (6.2 per cent) and Eurozone (5.2 per cent) this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Office for National Statistics, the UK economy grew just 0.1 per cent in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fitch upped its inflation forecast for the UK, hiking to reach 3.4 per cent annually by the end of this year and four per cent in early 2022. Despite both these figures being above the Bank of England\u2019s target, the ratings agency does not expect the Old Lady to hike rates until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the ONS, consumer price inflation and input inflation currently sit at 3.2 per cent and 11 per cent on an annual basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ongoing worker shortages and sustained supply chain snarl ups could derail the economic recovery, Fitch noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Jack Barnett<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cityam.com\/uk-economic-growth-to-smash-official-forecasts-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">City AM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Discover our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/secondchargemortgageuk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Second Charge Mortgage Broker<\/strong><\/a> services.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK economy will grow faster than official forecasters expect this year and the rate of expansion will be higher in the long term, according to a new report released today.
