Deutsche Bank analyst Sanjay Raja says Prime Minister Starmer will hand a markedly improved UK economy to successor Burnham. Official data show UK GDP rose 0.1% m/m in May and expanded 0.7% in the three months to May. Raja says, based on Q2 performance, the UK is likely to remain among G7 growth leaders or at least at the top. He warns the ongoing energy shock from the Iran war and wider geopolitical uncertainty could slow growth momentum.
