Starmer's economic woes continue as UK firms struggle with rising costs, job cuts
UK private sector growth slowed in July as rising costs, new taxes and global trade tensions hit business confidence. The PMI fell to a two-month low, employment weakened and pressure mounts on the Bank of England ahead of its next rate decision. read more Private sector activity in the UK weakened in July as firms grappled with rising costs tied to recent budget policies and global uncertainty, prompting many to reduce their workforce. The S&P Global Flash UK Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for composite output—which tracks performance across the manufacturing and services sectors fell to 51 in July, a two-month low. The reading, down from 52 in June, came in below the 51.8 predicted by economists surveyed by Reuters. However, it remained above the neutral 50 level, indicating continued, albeit slower business expansion. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The survey's employment measure slumped to its lowest point since February, with some businesses pointing to the recent hike in national insurance contributions—announced in the April budget by Finance Minister Rachel Reeves as a contributing factor. 'The persistent drag from fiscal measures on employment is particularly concerning,' said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. Additional pressure came from heightened trade tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump, which further impacted business sentiment. Meanwhile, a separate poll by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) suggested the UK's manufacturing sector accounting for roughly 10% of the economy had begun to stabilise following a period of decline. Still, the broader outlook remained shaky, with continued job losses across factories. The BoE is expected to reduce interest rates for the fifth time in 12 months on August 7 as it focuses on the slowdown in the jobs market, despite inflation rising further above the central bank's 2% target to 3.6% in June. Thursday's surveys underscored the BoE's dilemma with companies facing price pressures as well as weaker demand. The PMI showed prices charged by firms speeding up for the first time since April as suppliers sought to offset some of Reeves' tax increase and higher wage bills. 'In our view, the Bank should be more concerned about the ominous state of the jobs market and what it implies for wage growth,' James Smith, an economist with ING, said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, another three-way split on the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee was possible in August similar to May's voting pattern, Smith said. At that meeting, two members voted for a big half-point rate cut due to their worries about the jobs market, while five backed a smaller quarter-point cut and two said borrowing costs should stay on hold because of inflation risks. Matt Swannell, chief economic advisor to the EY ITEM Club, a forecasting organisation, said it remained unlikely that the BoE would speed up its rate cuts after August's reduction. 'We're yet to see the sort of deterioration in the official labour market or activity data that could prompt a pivot to faster rate cuts,' Swannell said. S&P Global's Williamson said the PMI survey suggested Britain's economy was growing at a quarterly pace of just 0.1% with a risk that it could prove weaker. The PMI for the services sector slipped to 51.2 in July from June's 52.8. The manufacturing sector PMI rose for a fourth month in a row to 48.2 from 47.7 but remained in contraction territory for a 10th consecutive month.

‘People are paying taxes out of confidence in govt, fear of non-payment': Gujarat CM
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Thursday said that people are now paying taxes with the confidence that the revenue is being used 'effectively' with government schemes 'reaching the most marginalised sections of society'. He also said the fear of strict action against non-payment has contributed to greater compliance. Businesses, he said, are also paying Goods and Services Tax (GST) because they are receiving the necessary support from the government and their enterprises are performing well. Patel was addressing a public meeting in Suigam village of Banaskantha district on Thursday, where he inaugurated and laid foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 358.37 crore. He made the remarks in the context of Income Tax Day. He said, 'Today is Income Tax Day… Today, many farmers have become income tax payers. Earlier, people used to run away from paying tax… Earlier, (people used to think that) when my neighbour is not paying the tax, why should I pay it… Now, people think that if the tax is not paid then it brings strict action. So, people pay the tax (also) with confidence that the income from tax is not only put to good use, but also that the benefit of government schemes has reached the most marginalised person. Its benefit has reached all.' Referring to GST, the CM said, 'The point is that when will the business class pay the tax? Will anybody pay tax just like that? One will pay the tax if the business is doing good and is earning well.' Without providing specifics, Patel said that Rs 2 lakh crore worth of GST had been collected in one month. 'The government is happy that it has made an income of Rs 2 lakh crore,' he said. 'If you want GIDC (Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation) and business, then it requires facilities like roads, water, and electricity. If all these facilities are available, then good businesses are established. And when you do well, then you pay tax. It is a whole chain. Nobody is paying tax just like that. He (a businessman) will pay the tax when he gets all the facilities,' the CM said. Patel was accompanied by Gujarat Assembly Speaker and Banaskantha MLA Shankar Chaudhary, state Industries Minister Balvantsinh Rajput, and others.
