U.K. living standards set to slide as growth lags G7 peers

UK living standards set to decrease
London, UK.

Living standards in the United Kingdom are forecast to continue falling behind comparable economies as weak growth and persistent inflation take their toll, according to a new report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

Its latest World Economic League Table predicts the UK will drop from 19th to 22nd globally in GDP per capita rankings by 2030, overtaken by economies including Hong Kong, Finland and the UAE, with living standards expected to slip below Malta’s by 2035.

UK GDP per capita is forecast at about US$58,775 next year, while growth over the next five years is projected to be the second weakest in the G7, ahead of only Japan.



CEBR warned Britain faces a “triple challenge” of high inflation, high debt and low growth, alongside rising tax burdens, weak competitiveness and state spending pressures, leaving households still poorer than before the Covid-19 pandemic.

  1. The Collective West (by design) faces a “triple challenge” of high inflation, high debt and low growth, alongside rising tax burdens, weak competitiveness and state spending pressures, leaving households still poorer than before the Covid-19 pandemic.

    • They have a “fix everything” button called remigration which would LITERALLY fix everything, but the Agenda 2030 demons slithering around all our parliaments would never in a million years allow it to be used. Even Trump, Farage Meloni etc all tuck tail and run away like cowards at the mere sound of the word.

      So sit back and enjoy the inevitable demographic/social/financial collapse, and pray NZ lasts a few years longer before the same happens here.

  2. Globalist agenda at work, remove manufacturing, push the climate scam, mass immigration of muslims and islamist that hate the patriots. The globalist are an evil satanic cult and they are just doing their thing, creating hell.
