Sir Howard Davies, former deputy governor of the Bank of England, told the BBC the IMF's 2026 growth forecast was "better than it might have been," but noted the 2027 outlook remained "more pessimistic." He observed the UK is "winning a slow bicycle race" as other economies decline faster, and emphasized that US debt accumulation is putting pressure on global interest rates affecting the UK.
“We're still growing slowly. It's almost like saying we're winning a slow bicycle race here because other people are going backwards a bit more rapidly than we are.”
