NEWS ARTICLE: Companies optimistic over economic growth
Most UK businesses are optimistic that economic growth will improve over the next three years. A poll of more than 1,500 British companies by Boston Consulting Group shows that 61% expect economic output to be “somewhat or significantly better” in 2025. Raoul Ruparel, director of the consultancy’s Centre for Growth, said: “It is easy to get downbeat about the UK’s prospects both in the short and medium term, but those running our businesses tend to be more optimistic.” He added: “Business leaders are anticipating a short-lived downturn, with the labour market likely to remain stronger than expected.” On challenges firms face, a quarter of company bosses surveyed said higher taxes posed one of the biggest threats to doing business, while 40% flagged concerns over energy costs.
