Abstract

  • • The economy will grow at 1.1 per cent in 1999, but manufacturing output will decline by 0.5 per cent and there is a one in three chance of outright recession.

  • • Cuts in interest rates to 5.75 per cent by the end of 1999 together with higher government spending should sustain continuing growth.

  • • We expect public borrowing to exceed public investment by £236bn over the five years 1997-2001.

  • • The inflation target will be met for the end of 1999.
