The financial watchdog said the UK economy would grow by 1.4 per cent this year and 1.5 per cent in 2021 after anaemic growth of 1.3 per cent last year. “The growth forecast assumes an orderly exit from the European Union at the end of January followed by a gradual transition to a new economic relationship,” its World Economic Outlook said, adding that its forecasts depended on the UK and EU “averting” a no-deal exit. “The downward revision primarily reflects negative surprises to economic activity in a few emerging market economies, notably India, which led to a reassessment of growth prospects over the next two years,” the IMF said. Although its growth projection was weaker, the team led by IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath said that developments since the autumn of 2019 indicated that risks to global activity were less tilted to the downside compared to its October forecasts.
