Speakers:
The UK entered 2026 already facing a challenging economic backdrop. Since then, the Iran conflict has only added fresh uncertainty, while the outcome of May’s local elections is bound to raise new questions around who will drive UK government policy.
Against this backdrop, investors need a clear view of potential pathways for the UK economy through this year and over the medium term. Drawing on our latest forecasts and our new macroeconomic scenarios framework, this special briefing on Thursday, 7th May at 10:00 ET/15:00 BST will explore how the UK outlook could evolve through 2026 and beyond.
During this briefing, the team will draw on our forecasts and risk scenarios for UK macroeconomic variables – used for IFRS 9 as well as broader strategic purposes – to discuss the UK outlook. During this 30-minute session, the team will answer your questions as they address key issues including:
- How domestic and global risks are bearing on the UK economy in 2026
- How alternative forward-looking scenarios differ from our baseline UK macro scenario
- The key macroeconomic indicators to watch in the months ahead
