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.
