International Reserves in United Kingdom
United Kingdom - International Reserves
Growth appeared to have been limp in the second quarter, sapped by swirling Brexit uncertainty and as manufacturers destocked following a surge in inventories in Q1. While the economy did expand in May, this only partially offset a sharp contraction in April, which was largely induced by temporary shutdowns at car plants. Moreover, the average quarterly readings for the services and manufacturing PMIs suggest stagnation. The labor market remained a silver lining: In March-May, wage growth was the fastest since 2008, while the unemployment rate stayed at a multi-decade low. However, even here signs of vulnerability emerged, with employment growth falling short of expectations and job vacancies declining. In politics, Boris Johnson is expected to be declared the new Conservative leader—and by extension prime minister—on 23 July. All Brexit outcomes—leaving with a deal, no deal, and no Brexit—remain on the table.United Kingdom - International Reserves Data
