Inflation fall boosts optimism for UK conomy

​

With the Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures reporting inflation dropping to 2.6%, we ask James Burgess, Head of Commercial and insolvency expert at Atradius what the drop will mean for businesses.

“The fall in inflation to 2.6% offers a much-needed boost for both businesses and consumers, setting a more optimistic tone as we enter the new tax year.”
 
“With interest rates holding at 4.5%, this anticipated drop in inflation is restoring confidence across the UK and supports the government’s measured economic approach following the Spring Statement, particularly as households continue to feel the pressure of rising bills.”
 
“However, challenges remain.  Ongoing volatility in UK tariff policy continues to pose a threat to economic stability.  To stay competitive and resilient, businesses must prioritise liquidity, reinforce their supply chains, and protect themselves with trade credit insurance.  These steps are vital to navigating uncertainty and unlocking growth in an unpredictable landscape.”
