According to a survey from The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), its new buyers’ gauge turned negative for the first time in nine months from +8 in April to -7 in May.
Since December, the Bank of England (BoE) has raised interest rates four times to address the rising inflationary pressure. It has also warned that inflation might reach 10% within months, as the Russia and Ukraine war has magnified the slowdown in the global economy with energy and food prices toughing their record highs. The BoE is expecting a revision of interest rates again next week.
According to the latest report from the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), the UK economy is expected to expand by 3.6% this year, before seeing zero growth next year. This clearly indicates that the UK economy will be the worst performer among all countries in the G20, besides Russia.
