"The outlook for the UK economy is sobering: for 2023, the output is expected to contract and inflation to remain elevated." 

In a statement released by the House of Commons treasury committee yesterday, the IMF warned that the British public will be passing through torrid times as the new fiscal plan tries to counteract inflation during times of recession. This dire situation is assessed to be the result of the skyrocketing energy prices. 

The inflation rate has hit a four-decade high, increasing to 11.1%, and the government explained the reasons for this economic downturn as being due to the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
