Abstract:The U.K.s dominant services sector expanded at the slowest pace since June last month, a sign that the economy was weak even before new coronavirus curbs were introduced.
The U.K.s dominant services sector expanded at the slowest pace since June last month, a sign that the economy was weak even before new coronavirus curbs were introduced.
The report highlights the pressure on Bank of England policy makers, meeting this week, to increase bond-buying to support growth. The second nationwide lockdown in England will start this week and last to at least Dec. 2, further putting the brakes on activity.
Services were “close to stalling even before the announcement of lockdown,” said Tim Moore, an economist at Markit. “The U.K. economy seems on course for a double-dip recession this winter and a far more challenging path to recovery in 2021.”
