Rachel Reeves: Quit Now the Tipping Point for Britain’s Economy is Here ….the Daily Torygraph on the money as usual…oh!… Wait…..
• The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded its forecast for the UK’s economic growth in 2025 to 1.6%, positioning it as the third-strongest among G7 economies, following the US and Canada.

Inflation Rates:
• Inflation in the UK has moderated, with recent data indicating a decline to 2.5%. This decrease has alleviated pressure on the Bank of England and influence future monetary policy decisions.

Borrowing Rates and Government Bonds:
• Yields on UK government bonds, known as gilts, have experienced fluctuations. The 10-year gilt yield climbed to approximately 4.9% in early January 2025, the highest since 2008. However, forecasts suggest a decline to about 4% by the end of 2025. 
• The Bank of England is anticipated to implement multiple interest rate cuts throughout 2025 to support economic growth, with expectations of quarterly reductions.

These developments reflect a dynamic economic environment in the UK, with positive growth forecasts tempered by ongoing challenges in inflation and borrowing costs.
