The UK’s fragile economy stands at a crossroads. Will the coalition government’s cuts tip it into a double-dip recession? Or is now the time to embark on another bout of quantitative easing – what the markets are already terming QEII? Barclays Corporate have partnered with the Financial Times to publish a new series called “The State of the UK Economy”. Produced in four parts between March and June, this definitive series will appear as a special supplement in the FT, and will feature extra content on www.ft.com/state-uk-economy .
This series will blend expert analysis from top FT journalists with case studies and opinion from CEOs, politicians and business experts. The aim is to provide economic content within a business context, crunching the numbers in order to offer business owners and managers the solutions that their companies need to survive and thrive in the current economic climate.
The first three parts of the series addressed the regional picture, the national stage and the global environment. Now the fourth supplement will focus on “The Future”. It brings together all the issues raised so far and attempts to provide concrete solutions. Leveraging the FT’s reporting expertise – in addition to comment from major policymakers and economists – it sets out a plan for future business success within the context of where these experts believe the world economy is heading.
The Financial Times’ chief economics commentator, Martin Wolf, gives his view on the way ahead, while Brian Groom, business and employment editor, attempts to tie together all of the strands of the previous three parts. Finally, in a series of case studies, the report looks at how three companies have grown their businesses from zero to hero in just 10 years – and their advice on how other businesses can do the same.
