However, any celebrations were short-lived; as for 2023\n      overall, the economy has hardly grown.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      In fact, we think economic data is likely to slip further as the full\n      impact of much higher interest rates increasingly filters through to the\n      economy. This could be partly offset by an improvement in real wages as\n      inflation declines. Much will depend on the labour market. The risk is\n      that it could weaken should the impact of higher rates put pressure on\n      corporate margins. For now, the Office for National Statistics estimates\n      that the unemployment rate stabilised at 4.2 percent over the three months\n      to September, having been as low as 3.6 percent a year ago. Consensus\n      expects GDP growth of a mere 0.4 percent in 2024, on par with what it\n      projects for 2023.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Despite this economic weakness, we believe the Bank of England (BoE) will\n      likely maintain the Bank Rate, currently at 5.25 percent, elevated for\n      much of 2024. Inflation excluding food and energy prices has waned but\n      remains elevated, at 5.7 percent. Over the next couple of months, a more\n      flattering year-over-year comparison could result in lower inflation. But\n      RBC BlueBay Asset Management Chief Investment Officer Mark Dowding points\n      out that the BoE will be alert to long-term inflation expectations\n      remaining elevated or \u201cde-anchoring.\u201d The government has been very vocal\n      in its promise to \u201chalve inflation\u201d by next month. Given the starting\n      point was double-digit inflation, it seems to have directed the public to\n      expect inflation of some five percent at year end. High inflation\n      expectations increase the risk of inflation becoming entrenched.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Dowding also surmises that inflationary pressures could be increased if\n      the UK government announces additional tax cuts at the upcoming Autumn\n      Statement. The UK finances are in poor shape, but the Conservative\n      government is in a precarious position, having trailed the opposition\n      Labour Party in the polls for close to two years. It may be tempted to\n      shore up its fortunes with feel-good measures ahead of what will likely be\n      an election year. Though it is not our base case, the risk is that the BoE\n      may well need to hike again in 2024 to bring inflation lower.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      RBC BlueBay thinks the UK is facing a high risk of stagflation, a state\n      characterized by low economic growth, high inflation, and rising\n      unemployment.\n    <\/p>\n    <h2>Will there be a changing of the guard?<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Given that the traditionally left wing Labour Party has held a\n      consistently large lead in the polls for more than a year, we think it is\n      worth considering how it could govern once in power.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Under Sir Keir Starmer\u2019s leadership, Labour has changed its spots. The\n      policies of its radical left wing faction, from imposing higher taxes on\n      high earners to nationalizing utilities, have been abandoned. The party\n      seems to have moved successfully to the centre, and it has markedly\n      improved ties with the corporate sector. Overall, we do not think a Labour\n      win would incite strong negative reaction in financial markets.\n    <\/p>\n    <h3>Labour has outperformed the Conservatives for two years<\/h3>\n    <h4>Westminster voting intention tracker<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"row mb-4\">\n      <div class=\"col-lg-10 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-10 col-xxs-12\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\"\n          src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/uk-stagflation-nation-en-chart-1.png\"\n          alt=\"Westminster voting intention tracker\"\n          class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\"\n          aria-describedby=\"chart1desc\"\n        \/>\n        <p\n          class=\"sr-only\"\n          id=\"chart1desc\"\n        >\n          Line chart showing the voting intentions in the UK for the two main parties, the ruling Conservatives and Labour, for the period of January 26, 2020, through November 8, 2023.

It is also looking to deregulate the planning\n      process for new homes, to strengthen employment rights, and to forge ahead\n      with the transition to a low-carbon economy.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Some of these goals may be difficult to achieve. The EU is unlikely to\n      accept this cherry-picking approach, and planning deregulation may\n      continue to meet fierce opposition as it threatens to change the\n      landscape. Importantly, Labour would inherit a country with deep scars \u2013 not\n      only from Brexit, but also from the BoE\u2019s fastest monetary policy\n      tightening spree in three decades \u2013 and heavily indebted with gross debt to\n      GDP approaching 100 percent. This may limit a new government\u2019s ability to\n      reboot the economy.\n    <\/p>\n    <h2>Opportunities in an unloved market<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      We acknowledge the challenging domestic economic prospects but recommend a\n      Market Weight exposure to UK equities. We believe the market\u2019s defensive\n      qualities should hold it in good stead given the more volatile backdrop we\n      are expecting for the global economy and global equities in 2024. The UK\u2019s\n      blue-chip equity index, the FTSE 100, has a relatively large exposure to\n      defensive sectors (e.g., Health Care and Consumer Staples). Moreover, it\n      has a bias to \u201cold economy\u201d industries, including Energy (approximately 14\n      percent of the FTSE 100), a sector where the risk-reward is favourable at\n      present, in our view, given the tight supply-side dynamics, inexpensive\n      valuations, and improving earnings momentum. Importantly, UK equity\n      valuations are undemanding, with almost every sector trading on an\n      abnormally high discount relative to history.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Given the challenging domestic economic prospects, we remain cautious on\n      domestic stocks. We continue to recommend maintaining a bias for globally\n      diverse, high-quality businesses. Across the market, the valuation\n      multiples of many leading UK-listed global companies remain at a notable\n      discount versus their international peers listed in other markets. We view\n      this unwarranted \u201cUK market discount\u201d on these global companies as an\n      opportunity for long-term investors in these stocks.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      UK fixed income is an interesting asset class with yields elevated and the\n      BoE close to the peak of its hiking cycle. We are somewhat concerned about\n      the heavy Treasury issuance schedule however, so for non-UK-based\n      investors, we suggest a Market Weight in Gilts with a bias to shift to\n      Overweight in the near term.\n    <\/p>\n    <p class=\"mb-3\">\n      For UK-based investors, the tax treatment of Gilts makes them an\n      attractive investment. Gilts are exempt from capital gains tax, so no tax\n      is paid on any profit realized when the Gilt matures \u2013 only income tax on\n      the coupon is paid. This is particularly useful for higher-rate taxpayers,\n      who would otherwise pay capital gains tax at 20 percent.\n    <\/p>\n    \n    <p><span class=\"italic\">With contributions from Thomas McGarrity, CFA<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK economy is weak and suffers from troublingly persistent core inflation.
