Annual GDP growth in the UK 1949-2023

The United Kingdom's economy grew by 0.3 percent in 2023, after a growth rate of 4.8 percent in 2022. 8.6 percent in 2021, and a record 10.3 percent decline in 2020. During the provided time period, the biggest annual fall in gross domestic product before 2020 occurred in 2009, when the UK economy contracted by 4.6 percent at the height of the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Between 1949 and 2020, the year with the highest annual GDP growth rate was 1973, when the UK economy grew by 6.5 percent. UK ends 2023 in recessionWhile the UK economy grew over the whole of 2023, two consecutive quarters of negative growth at the end of the year meant that the UK was officially in recession as it entered 2024. According to forecasts from the Autumn Budget in November 2023, the UK economy is expected to grow by 0.7 percent in 2024 and then by 1.4 percent in 2025. The UK's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, while initially strong, has stalled recently, primarily due to high inflation driving down consumer spending. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 added additional upward pressure on energy and food prices, causing inflation to soar to even higher levels. Although the UK labor market has been generally robust since the pandemic, prices rose faster than wages for a long 20-month-period between 2021 and 2023.UK economy hit hard by COVID-19.In April 2020, the UK economy shrank by a huge 18.9 percent in a single month, the most significant monthly fall in GDP on record. Although GDP growth returned in the following months, it was not until November 2021 that the UK economy returned to pre-pandemic levels. A similarily severe hit to the UK's labor market was avoided by the UK's extensive furlough scheme, which at its height saw the UK government partly paying the wages of around 8.8 million people. The economic recovery was derailed by a severe wave of the virus in late 2020. Still, by September 2021, the economic picture was normal enough for the furlough scheme to be phased out at the end of that month.

2023年英国经济同比增长0.3%，而2022年增速为4.8%、2021年为8.6%，2020年则创下10.3%的历史最大年度降幅。在2020年之前，英国年度国内生产总值（Gross Domestic Product，GDP）的最大单年度跌幅出现在2009年，彼时受2000年代末全球金融危机的影响，英国经济收缩幅度达4.6%。1949年至2020年间，英国年度GDP增速最高的年份为1973年，当年经济增速达6.5%。

英国2023年收官之际陷入经济衰退。尽管2023年全年英国经济实现增长，但年末连续两个季度出现负增长，这意味着英国在迈入2024年时已正式陷入经济衰退。根据2023年11月发布的秋季预算案预测，英国经济预计在2024年增长0.7%，2025年增速将达到1.4%。英国经济从新冠疫情（COVID-19 pandemic）中的复苏初期势头强劲，但近期陷入停滞，主要原因是高通胀压制了居民消费支出。2022年俄罗斯对乌克兰的军事入侵进一步推高了能源与食品价格，令通胀进一步飙升。尽管疫情以来英国劳动力市场整体保持强劲，但在2021年至2023年的20个月里，物价涨幅长期高于工资增速。

新冠疫情重创英国经济。2020年4月，英国经济单月大幅收缩18.9%，为有记录以来最严重的单月GDP跌幅。尽管后续几个月GDP恢复增长，但直到2021年11月，英国经济才回升至疫情前的水平。英国政府推出的大规模职位保留补贴计划（furlough scheme）避免了劳动力市场遭受同样严重的冲击，该计划实施高峰期，英国政府为约880万劳动者承担了部分工资支出。2020年末的一轮严重疫情浪潮打乱了经济复苏节奏，但到2021年9月，经济形势已基本恢复正常，职位保留补贴计划于当月月末逐步终止。
