UK turns corner' as next year growth only behind US and Canada of G7 counterparts
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The UK is projected to achieve stronger economic growth next year than most of its G7 peers, trailing only the US and Canada, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The influential economic body's latest report anticipates Britain's GDP growth will surpass Japan, Italy, and France, while equalling Germany's. The IMF maintained its UK economic growth forecasts for 2026 and 2027 at 1.3 per cent and 1.5 per cent respectively. Global growth is projected at 3.3 per cent in 2026 and 3.2 per cent in 2027."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and chooses not to use paywalls so journalism remains widely accessible. Donor support funds sending journalists to interview multiple perspectives and produce investigative work and documentaries. The IMF projects that the UK will achieve stronger economic growth next year than most G7 peers, trailing only the US and Canada, and anticipates the UK will surpass Japan, Italy, and France while equalling Germany. The IMF maintained UK growth forecasts of 1.3% for 2026 and 1.5% for 2027 and nudged 2025 to 1.4%.
