Abstract

The UK economy grew strongly in 2000, boosted by the expansion in the services sector. Real GDP increased by 3%. On the labour market the situation remains tense with average unemployment for the year at 5.6%. Consumer prices were 0.8% higher than in 1999. In 2001, real GDP will only grow by about 2%. Average consumer price increases for the year will be ca. 1¼%, and the unemployment rate will stand at about 5¼%. In 2002, the economy will recover, with GDP expanding by about 2½% and the unemployment rate remaining at the previous-year level.
