Article Abstract:
The international environment poses the biggest threat to Britain's economy. If the economic dynamism brought about by reform is to be combined with overall stability monetary policy has to be right, but in EMU interest rates are bound to be inappropriate for some countries therefore even if reform were embarked on, with interest rates only coincidentally appropriate for individual countries, Europe will continue to experience significant differences in the performance of its component economies.

Article Abstract:
The latest economic trends in the UK are very disappointing as growth has plunged and stayed below trend for five quarters in a row, and has virtually halved from 3.2% in 2004 to an estimated 1.6% to 1.7% in 2005. Consensus forecasts point to inadequate UK prospects for 2006, and there are clear risks of a worst outcome, as stronger investment and exports are vital for recovery, but acute global uncertainties and weak business confidence are worsening the dangers facing the British economy.
