UK Economy & Brexit
The UK economy could be 3.5% smaller under the latest Brexit deal. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) has cautioned that it would not expect UK economic activity to be boosted by the approval of the government’s latest proposed Brexit deal and estimate that, in the long run, the economy would be 3.5% smaller with the deal compared to continued EU membership. Furthermore, with the assumption that chronic uncertainty persists and the terms of EU trade remain unchanged, NIESR forecasts economic growth of under 1.5% in 2019 and 2020, though the forecast is subject to significant uncertainty. Overall, NIESR estimates that the economy is 2.5% smaller now than it would otherwise have been as a result of the 2016 Brexit vote.

UK GDP growth over the last year has slowed to its lowest rate in almost a decade. Latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) data has indicated that UK GDP grew by 0.3% in Q3 2019 after contracting by 0.2% in Q2.
When compared with the same quarter of 2018, GDP grew by 1.0% - the lowest rate of growth since Q1 2010.
An ONS Statistician said: “GDP grew steadily in the third quarter,
mainly thanks to a strong July. Services again led the way with construction also performing well. Manufacturing failed to grow as falls in many industries were offset by car production bouncing back following April shutdowns.
Looking at the picture over the last year, growth slowed to its lowest rate in almost a decade." To see the ONS' news release go to https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/gdpmonthlyestimateuk/september2019.

The UK is forecast to experience the lowest growth figures since the financial crisis in 2008-09. Dun & Bradstreet has published its latest UK Economic Outlook which contains insights on the UK's economy, an analysis of trends in corporate liquidations and payments performance, as well as recommendations from D&B's economist team. The report predicts that although recent monthly UK GDP data has significantly reduced the likelihood of the UK having fallen into a recession, forward-looking indicators leave little room for optimism. As such, D&B now forecasts that real UK GDP growth will expand by around 1.0% in 2019, followed by 1.3% in 2020 (assuming a managed exit from the EU). These would be the lowest growth figures since the financial crisis in 2008-09. To download a copy of the report go to

A third of British businesses are concerned about Brexit supply chain impact. According to new research from R3, 11% of UK businesses have reviewed the potential impact of Brexit on their suppliers and customers and are ‘very concerned’ by what they had found. A further 22% were ‘somewhat’ concerned, and 16% of businesses said they had yet to review the potential impact of Brexit on their supplier and customer network. Duncan Swift, R3 President, warned: “Businesses which don’t understand how Brexit will affect their supply chains are at risk of sleepwalking into trouble.” To read R3's news release go to https://www.r3.org.uk/index.cfm?page=1114&element=34002&refpage=1008.
How companies in the UK, France and Germany are preparing for Brexit. HSBC has advised that its latest Navigator report, a survey of more than 9,000 companies around the globe, has found that a comparison of the UK, France and Germany shows that UK businesses are, unsurprisingly, the most prepared for Brexit
(83%), with France (79%) and Germany (75%) following behind. HSBC notes that UK companies are focusing
on reviewing contracts and checking internal policies and procedures. Meanwhile, the French
are mainly opening businesses outside the EU and expanding their supply chains to non-EU
markets, whereas the Germans are reviewing contracts and renegotiating terms with
suppliers. For more information go to https://www.business.hsbc.com/navigator.
UK Trade Sectors
UK retailers report record-high stock levels. According to the latest monthly CBI Distributive Trends Survey, against the backdrop of a continuing decline in sales, UK retailers’ stock levels in relation to expected sales were at their highest on record in October. The latest spike in stock adequacy (the highest since the survey began in 1983) followed another large peak seen in August. According to the CBI, a combination of the proximity to Christmas and ongoing Brexit uncertainty is likely to have driven stocks higher, particularly with retailers stocking seasonal products earlier than usual. To read the CBI's news release go to https://www.cbi.org.uk/media-centre/articles/retailers-report-record-high-stock-levels-as-brexit-deadline-looms-cbi/.
UK in-store sales plunge in the final week of October. According to the BDO High Street Sales Tracker (HSST), total like-for-like in-store UK sales only managed a marginal +0.7% increase
in October and failed to offset a negative base of -2.0% in October 2018. While the first three weeks of the month saw a boost for in-store like-for-like sales despite poor footfall and challenging weather conditions,
the final week saw total in-store like-for-like sales decrease -6.45% from a base of -0.30%. Meanwhile, in contrast, away from the UK high street, non-store like-for-like sales grew by +17.4% from a base of +10.5% last year,
suggesting that shoppers still took some advantage of the deeper discounts and earlier seasonal promotions than last year. To read BDO's news release go to https://www.bdo.co.uk/en-gb/news/2019/high-street-to-be-hit-by-perfect-storm-this-christmas.
Amid a gloomy outlook for UK manufacturers, investment plans hit a post-financial crisis low. According to the CBI’s latest quarterly Industrial Trends Survey, UK manufacturing output continued to fall in the quarter to October, primarily driven by a significant decline in the motor vehicles and transport equipment sub-sector. The survey also showed that prospects for the next quarter are downbeat. Tom Crotty, Group Director of INEOS and Chair of CBI Manufacturing Council, said: “With Brexit reaching a critical crossroads, these gloomy results are unsurprising yet still very concerning. Most tellingly, manufacturers’ investment intentions across buildings, machinery, and skills are at their worst since the dark days of the financial crisis."

UK Exports
UK exports contracted for the first time in four years in Q3 2019. BDO has reported that its latest Export Growth Index indicates that the UK's EU export growth declined to 93.9 (where 95 shows zero growth ) in Q3 2019. This shows that British exports to Europe contracted year-on-year in Q3 – the first time since 2015. Furthermore, BDO notes that with growth on a downward trajectory across all key UK export markets, a marked recovery in Q4 appears unlikely. Europe’s largest economy, Germany, experienced an even more significant annual contraction of exports in Q3 – with the Index falling by 3.7 points to 90.9. France, Italy and Spain performed better, but also saw growth deteriorate in Q3, with the rate of export growth now below the long-run trend in all three countries.

The EU as a bloc is the UK’s largest trading partner. According to a new House of Commons Briefing Paper, 'Geographical pattern of UK trade', the EU as a bloc is the UK’s largest trading partner. In 2018, it accounted for 45% (10% less than in 1999) of UK exports of goods and services and 53% of the UK’s imports. However, looking at individual countries, the US is the UK’s largest trading partner, with the UK exporting £121 billion of goods and services to the US in 2018 - 19% of all exports. This was more than double the value of exports to Germany, the UK’s second-largest export market (£56 billion). Overall, in 2018 ten of the UK’s top twenty-five export markets in 2018 were EU member states, as were 12 of the top 25 countries from which the UK imports.

Half of EU business leaders expect trade with the UK to decline post-Brexit. New research by BDO has found that half of the EU business leaders it surveyed expect trade with the UK to fall post-Brexit, while 40% of UK business leaders expect a reduction in trade with the EU. The countries anticipating the highest decrease of their country’s trade with the UK include Spain (81%), Denmark (67%) and Italy (53%). However, BDO also notes that the outlook for non-EU markets could be positive, with a quarter of EU businesses and a third of UK businesses expecting Brexit to accelerate their trade with markets outside of the EU. Analysed by individual country, the US is technically the UK’s largest trading partner, accounting for 15% of total goods and services.

UK services businesses plan international push amid UK uncertainty. According to a new Lloyds Bank survey, almost half of UK large services firms are planning an export push over the coming year. The UK Services bosses surveyed say that, in spite of current uncertainty, the EU (44%) continues to offer the most potential, followed by the Far East (32%) and China (31%).
Nine in 10 (86%) of those pushing overseas are doing so via mergers or acquisitions, while two in five (38%) expect to remain UK-focused. Although half (48%) say a no-deal Brexit is a risk to growth,
most UK services firms are optimistic, with 74% forecasting a rise in their turnover in the next five years.

New research from Begbies Traynor has indicated that the number of UK businesses in significant financial distress has increased by 40% in the three years since the EU referendum, affecting 489,000 UK businesses. Over the past year, significant financial distress has risen in 20 out of the 22 sectors monitored by this research, with the real estate and property, construction, retail and travel sectors the most severely affected. There was also a marked increase in the number of businesses in critical financial distress during the same period – often a precursor to formal insolvency – with a substantial 8% year-on-year rise, To read Begbies Traynor's news release go to https://www.begbies-traynorgroup.com/news/firm-news/489000-businesses-in-significant-financial-distress-a-40-increase-since-the-eu-referendum.

Latest data from the Insolvency Service), has indicated that underlying corporate insolvencies rose by 0.4% in Q3 2019 compared to Q2, and rose by 1.6% compared to Q3 2018. In addition, the number of administrations have increased by 20% since the last quarter, and are now at their highest since the first quarter of 2014. Duncan Swift, president of R3, commented: "Uncertainty and stop-start stockpiling are among the factors hitting recruitment, investment, and wider business health, and we’re seeing more businesses worrying about their cashflow levels and their order books over the next quarter and the next year."

The Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM) has announced that twenty firms – including AstraZeneca, IBM, Diageo, GlaxoSmithKline, Kier and Unilever – have been suspended from the Prompt Payment Code (PPC) for failing to honour the code's commitment to pay 95% of all supplier invoices within sixty days. All of the businesses have already now submitted action plans towards achieving compliance.

Late payments: buyers leave SME suppliers to last. The Fintech Times has reported that new analysis released by Previse shows the extent to which the problem of slow payments is concentrated among small suppliers.
Previse has released the findings of an analysis of over 10 million invoices (representing more than £24 billions of spending by some of the UK’s largest buyers).
The figures show that, while late payments are rife throughout the supply chain, the smallest suppliers are paid 30 days late while firms charging the biggest fees are paid, on average, less than a day late.
Suppliers invoicing for a value less than £10,000 are sometimes not even processed by buyers until 35 days after being received on average, ensuring that payment, usually due within 30 days, is late before the invoice has even been approved.

Credit Management News and Resources
Paul Uppal is no longer the UK's Small Business Commissioner. A recent UK government news release has reported that Paul Uppal has "stepped down" as Small Business Commissioner. According to The Times, a conflict of interest with the yet-to-operate Business Banking Resolution Service may be behind his departure. Fiona Dickie, the Deputy Pubs Code Adjudicator, will provide oversight in the Small Business Commissioner role until early November, pending the appointment of an interim Commissioner. An assessment panel of three professionals was used in 2017 to appoint Mr Uppal to the role.

Users are able to anonymously share their insight in return for free access to the Directory. They can also update and remove ratings that they have given.

European & World Economy
The World Economy is set to experience its slowest annual growth for a decade. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) has reported that it has lowered its forecast for global GDP growth this year from 3.25% to 3% - the slowest annual growth for a decade. NIESR expects similar growth of 3% in 2020, with a slight pick-up in 2021 to 3.25%. Overall, global GDP growth this year is now expected to be around 0.75% slower than NIESR anticipated a year ago. NIESR notes that the imposition of tariffs by the US on goods from China and other protectionist measures have been a disruptive force in the global trading environment. To read NIESR's news release go to https://www.niesr.ac.uk/media/niesr-press-release-prospects-world-economy-13976.
The outlook for the world economy indicates a synchronised slowdown and precarious outlook. The IMF has advised that the global economy is in a synchronised slowdown and that it is once again, downgrading its assessment of global growth for 2019 to 3%, its slowest pace since the global financial crisis. The IMF notes that growth continues to be weakened by rising trade barriers and increasing geopolitical tensions and estimates that the US-China trade tensions will cumulatively reduce the level of global GDP by 0.8% by 2020. Looking ahead, the IMF's project a modest improvement in global growth to 3.4% in 2020. However, unlike the synchronised slowdown, the IMF warns that this recovery is not broad-based and remains precarious.

The European economy is heading towards a protracted period of subdued growth. The European Commission has noted that although the European economy is now in its seventh consecutive year of growth and is forecast to continue expanding in 2020 and 2021, the external environment has become much less supportive and uncertainty is running high. This is particularly affecting the manufacturing sector, which is also experiencing structural shifts. As a result, the European Commission suggests that the European economy looks to be heading towards a protracted period of more subdued growth and muted inflation, with Euro area GDP forecast to expand by 1.1% in 2019 and by 1.2% in 2020 and 2021. Compared to the Summer 2019's predictions, this is a 0.1% downgrade for 2019 and a 0.2% downgrade for 2020.

Stable below-trend growth momentum anticipated in the OECD area as a whole. The OECD has reported that its latest composite leading indicators (CLIs) continue to anticipate stable
below-trend growth momentum in the OECD area as a whole. Within OECD economies, stable growth momentum remains the assessment for France and Canada and is now also anticipated in Japan and Italy, with similar
signs now also emerging in the euro area as a whole. On the other hand, the CLIs for the US and Germany continue to point to easing growth momentum, which is now also the assessment for the UK - although the OECD notes that large margins of error persist
due to continuing Brexit uncertainty.
Among major emerging economies, the CLIs continue to signal stable growth momentum in China (for the industrial sector) and Brazil and now, also, in Russia. In India, easing growth momentum remains the assessment. To read the OECD's news release go to http://www.oecd.org/newsroom/composite-leading-indicators-cli-oecd-november-2019.htm.
New Zealand continues to top the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business rankings. The World Bank has published the latest annual ease of doing business ranking and has again ranked New Zealand and Singapore in the first and second place.
