Slowdown temporary, says forecaster

The slowdown in the economy will be temporary, the London Business School predicts in a new forecast published today. It thinks higher exports, investment and consumer spending will make Britain the fastest-growing of the G7 economies next year. In a forecast more optimistic than many, the LBS says growth will recover to 3.1 per cent after a 2.7 per cent increase in 1995.
