Retail sales rise by 0.2 per cent in November after pre-budget decline

UK RETAIL sales increased by 0.2 per cent in November, according to official data, reflecting a modest recovery after October’s decline as concerns about the government’s budget eased. However, the growth was weaker than the 0.5 per cent increase forecast by economists polled by Reuters.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that the November rise marked the first increase since August. Over the three months to November, sales volumes grew by just 0.3 per cent, the weakest performance since the three months to June. Sales volumes had dropped by 0.7 per cent in October amid caution ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ tax and spending plan.

THE Bank of England has cautioned that the UK economy is stagnating, following measures introduced in chancellor Rachel Reeves’s budget. Businesses are reportedly responding to tax hikes and a higher minimum wage by cutting jobs and raising prices.

Andrew Bailey, the Bank's governor, revealed that growth forecasts for the final quarter of 2024 have been downgraded to "zero." He also stressed a cautious approach to reducing interest rates, which remain at 4.75 per cent, citing economic uncertainty. “We need to ensure we meet the 2 per cent inflation target sustainably,” Bailey said.
