UK on course for 'five years of lost economic growth': THE UK is on course to experience “five years of lost economic growth”, according to a new report.
thenational.scot/news/23710413.uk-course-five-years-lost-economic-growth/
Quick Glance: Warning: UK Faces 5 Years of Lost Economic Growth
- According to the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (Niesr), Brexit, Covid, and the Ukraine war have severely impacted the UK economy.
- This weak 'stuttering growth' over a 5-year period has widened the gap between the wealthier and poorer parts of the country, as stated by the think tank.
- For some of the poorest in society, coping with low or no real wage growth and persistent inflation has involved taking on new debt to cover permanently higher housing, energy, and food costs, said Prof Pabst.
- Last week, the Bank of England raised interest rates for the 14th consecutive time in an effort to make borrowing more expensive, dampen demand, and slow inflation.

Quick Glance: Galvanizers needed: post-Brexit labour shortages put UK firms under pressure
- The majority of skilled-work visas are granted to non-EU applicants.
- Prior to Brexit, the 162-year-old company could rely on migrant labor, usually Poles or Romanians, who were mostly recruited by word of mouth.
- However, according to managing director Sophie Williams, hiring workers has gotten increasingly difficult in the recent year.
- During the fiscal year ending March 31, Britain issued 182,153 skilled work visas, over half of which went to Indian nationals.
- IT, professional, and financial services firms are among the most common sponsors of work visas.
- However, according to Indeed economist Jack Kennedy, Britain's rising reliance on foreigners to supply health and social care is another driver of the growth in non-EU migrant labor.
In a referendum in 2014, a majority of the Schott:innen (55 percent) had still voted to remain in the United Kingdom. However, that was before Brexit.
