This was due to the \u201cexceptionally rapid stock-building early in the year\u201d which boosted demand, the BCC said.<\/p>\n<p>These predictions were based on the assumption \u201cthat the UK avoids a messy and disorderly Brexit from the EU\u201d, the BCC said. The chances of a no-deal Brexit have risen dramatically in recent weeks, however, as the Conservative leadership contest has ramped up.<\/p>\n<p>Frontrunner Boris Johnson is among those to have said the UK should leave the European Union with or without a deal on 31 October.<\/p>\n<p>The BCCs economic report said business investment will tumble further in 2019, and recover more slowly in 2020 than previously expected.<\/p>\n<p>Trade is expected to drag on growth as exchange rate volatility, uncertainty over Brexit, and a global economic slowdown weaken conditions for UK exporters.<\/p>\n<p>Yet consumer spending will continue to be a bright spot in the otherwise gloomy economy, the BCC said. It is expected to remain resilient as wage growth continues to outstrip inflation and unemployment remains near record lows.<\/p>\n<p>Suren Thiru, head of economics at the BCC, said: \u201cThe revisions to our forecast suggest that the UK economy is likely to remain on a disappointingly subdued growth path for some time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityam.com\/british-chambers-of-commerce-slashes-uk-2020-growth-prediction\/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=british-chambers-of-commerce-slashes-uk-2020-growth-prediction\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopup.com\/app\/uploads\/2016\/08\/cityam-logo.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityam.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CityAM<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has today slashed its prediction for growth in the UK economy..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":123284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
