Business Barometer from Lloyds Bank
- UK overall business confidence rose 13 points to 23 per cent,
- optimism in the economy up 22 points to 24 per cent
- confidence in their own prospects climbing four points to 22 per cent
"After a turbulent 2019, it is encouraging to see a solid rise in overall business confidence to start the new decade. These results, if sustained, could signal a stronger economic growth at the start of 2020, although risks to the central outlook remain." said senior Lloyds Bank economist Hann-Ju Ho.
The election has resulted in a great degree of certainty in the UK. Brexit day is tomorrow. Its likely to be challenging times ahead but at least the place can move ahead instead of the stalemate it had been in.
