Goldman Sachs predicts aggravating UK recession in 2023

As an updated analysis by Goldman Sachs says, Great Britain is likely to enter a deeper recession next year. Inflation, along with interest rates, would be below market expectations. 

The U.S. largest investment bank lowered its forecast for the United Kingdom, based on the analysis released Sunday. The country's economy will contract by 1% in 2023, despite previous estimates of 0.4%.

As voiced by a recent analysis: “Given the reduced growth rate, tighter financial conditions and a corporate tax increase (starting next April), we have lowered our expectations, thereby forecasting higher recession risks."

Goldman Sachs experts noted interest rates to hit the peak of 4.75%. These indicators are below the earlier outlook of 5%.

Deloitte's accountants also conducted their own survey, showing that British companies expect rising interest rates to make it more difficult to overcome the sales downturn and economic recession in 2023.
