Global Inflationary Pressures and the UK Economy

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research hosted the Business Conditions Forum (BCF) on Wednesday 13th April 2022. The aim of the BCF is to have informed and analytical discussions of data and surveys to better understand the current state of the UK economy. The discussions are under Chatham House Rules to encourage free and open discussion. NIESR is grateful to the ESRC and the Impact Accelerator Award (IAA) for funding the BCF.

The discussion at this meeting focused around global inflationary pressures and the UK economy, with specific focus on the economic impact of the war in Ukraine, the UK labour market, and UK inflation.
