Abstract
The UK economy is likely to put in a solid performance during the next two years. Economic activity is expected to grow at a below-trend rate of around 1.7 per cent this year, with the impact of sharp equity market falls, a weak global economy and manufacturing sector fragility largely offset by a lower interest rate profile. Conditions remain in place for recovery to around-trend growth in 2003–04, as the world economy picks up speed. That said, the probability on the central forecast has been reduced, reflecting increased downside risks. If the downside were to materialise, margin pressures would tend to intensify in thin trading markets. Business propositions should therefore be examined for vulnerability to potentially weak pricing leverage, as well as to the risk of more subdued demand growth for an extended period.

英国经济前景
英国经济在未来两年可能会有稳定的表现。预计今年经济活动将以1.7%左右的低于趋势的速度增长,股市大幅下跌、全球经济疲软以及制造业脆弱性的影响在很大程度上被较低的利率格局所抵消。随着世界经济加快速度,2003-04年恢复到接近趋势水平的增长的条件仍然存在。话虽如此,中央预测的可能性已经降低,反映出下行风险增加。如果这种下行趋势成为现实,在交易清淡的市场上,利润率压力往往会加剧。因此,应该审视商业主张是否容易受到潜在的定价杠杆不足的影响,以及在较长一段时间内需求增长放缓的风险。版权所有©2002 Henry Stewart Publications
