Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of investor forecasts which suggest that there may be a slowdown in global economic growth and a fall in corporate profits over the next year.
HM Government continuously monitors the global economy, and the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) produces the Government’s official economic forecasts. In October 2018 the OBR’s forecast for world economic growth in 2019 was 3.7%. The OBR will revisit this forecast this spring.
