The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has reported that the UK economy is expected to grow by 1% in 2027, a decrease from its previous forecast of 1.1%. This adjustment is attributed to the ongoing US-Israel conflict and its impact on global economic conditions. The OECD has upgraded the UK's growth outlook for 2026 from 0.9% to 1.1%, citing solid domestic demand growth. However, the agency warns that growth in 2027 will be affected by rising fuel prices, contingent on the duration of supply disruptions. The OECD also highlighted that global growth is projected to be 0.1% lower next year, impacting countries such as Australia, Canada, and those in the Euro-area. The conflict in the Middle East has led to increased oil and gas prices, contributing to inflation in the UK. Additionally, weather-related events, including a strong El Nino, may adversely affect agricultural production and food prices.
