As the global economy demonstrates resilience, the UK continues to struggle. While the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global growth and easing inflation, the UK's post-pandemic performance has been one of the weakest among G7 nations. Factors such as Brexit, political instability, and a prolonged period of stagnation in productivity have contributed to the UK's economic woes. Despite recent growth, challenges persist, and tomorrow’s elections may impact the nation's fiscal strategies. Read the full commentary by Acuity Trading's CEO Andrew Lane for a deeper insight into the UK's economic struggles and potential paths forward. https://hubs.ly/Q02DGW4-0 #GlobalEconomy #UKEconomy #Brexit #PoliticalInstability #EconomicGrowth #AcuityTrading #IMF #FinancialMarkets #ProductivityGrowth #UKElection

Hi The attached note looks at the rise of populism and what it means for economic policies and investors. The key points are as follows: The continuing rise of populism globally – as evident in recent European elections and in the US with Trump and the Republican party – is signalling an ongoing shift away from economic rationalist policies in favour of greater government involvement in economies and less free trade. While extra investment associated with government industrial policies may provide a short-term boost, the risk is high that the rise of populism and a bigger role for government in economies will contribute to more constrained medium-term investment returns. Australia is less vulnerable but will still be impacted. All the best Shane

Public Opinion Is Not Good Judgment Do not make life decisions based on public sentiment or popular opinion. Brexit serves as a recent example. Trade is the lifeline of any economy. Brexit has made trade more difficult, inevitably pulling the economy downward—it's straightforward. Yet, instead of seeking advice from experts, Britain chose to rely on a public opinion poll. This poll was largely influenced by emotional waves. Today, controlling the economy has become increasingly challenging, and it is on a declining trend. Decisions are always better made by domain experts than by public opinion—whether for a country, a company, or personal life. However, in the case of a country, it’s better to sacrifice progress if democracy is under threat. UK will need to thrive and we need to find ways to make it possible
