英国预算责任办公室（OBR）大幅下调了该国2027年的经济增长预测，指出中东冲突对经济造成了数十亿英镑的冲击并引发了新的生活成本危机 1。尽管官方预测机构显示增长、生活水平及公共财政状况均被显著降级，但此次调整发生在英国政府试图通过新政策缓解全球风暴影响的背景下 1。具体数据显示，预计今年英国经济增长为1.2%，而2027年的增长前景则进一步放缓 2。
面对全球经济冲击，英国财政大臣在发布的2026年预算案中调整了财政政策，接受了更小的财政缓冲空间以维持支出能力 2。该预算案被称为“为劳动者服务”的预算，其中包含提高银行税等措施 2。作为应对生活成本压力的关键举措，财政大臣约翰·希利宣布向家庭提供100英镑补贴 1。此外，预算案还敦促威尔士政府向民众提供同样的100英镑能源账单补贴 2。
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has significantly downgraded its projection for the United Kingdom's economic growth in 2027, citing the impact of global shocks, including conflict in the Middle East 12. This downward revision coincides with a broader downgrade to the outlook for living standards and public finances, reflecting billions of pounds in damage to the economy and triggering concerns about a new cost-of-living crisis 1. Despite these negative trends, official forecasts indicate that the UK economy is expected to grow by 1.2% this year before slowing in 2027 2.
In response to these challenging conditions, Chancellor John Healey announced measures in his first budget designed to mitigate the effects of the global economic storm 1. A key component of this fiscal strategy includes offering households a £100 payment 1. While Healey’s approach focuses on direct support, reports also indicate that the Chancellor accepted a smaller fiscal buffer after acknowledging the severity of the global shocks hitting the economy 2. The budget was characterized as being "for working people," incorporating specific policy changes such as an increase in bank taxes 2. Additionally, authorities have urged the Welsh Government to provide energy bill subsidies, although source attribution regarding the specific nature of the £100 payment varies between general household support and targeted energy assistance 12.
