UK Economic Growth Forecast Cut- What it Means to Employers

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its forecast for UK economic growth in 2025, predicting a slowdown to 0.5%, making the UK one of the weakest-performing G7 economies next year. The IMF cited persistent inflation, higher interest rates, and weak consumer demand as key contributing factors.

At Horizon Talent Acquisition, we’re watching these developments closely. While a slower economy can signal caution for some sectors, it also reinforces the need for strategic hiring and leaner, more efficient workforce planning. Businesses may need to prioritize talent that delivers long-term value — and rethink when and how they scale.

Our tailored recruitment services are built for resilient hiring, helping you adapt to shifts in the global economy without compromising growth.
