IMF downgrades UK Growth

Finance

The IMF downgrades UK growth prospects due to the continuing BREXIT risks. Growth forecasts were raised for China, Japan and many Eurozone countries.

Before the UK referendum took place, the IMF predicated catastrophe for the UK economy (pretty bad to very very bad I think was the phrase used or something similar) – which hasn’t materialized, as yet!

So, the IMF can get it wrong. Have they got it right this time I wonder?

BREXIT is creating so much uncertainty growth is bound to be affected!
