High inflation and low growth will further the decline in British living standards, pushing the country behind its economic peers, the British-based Center for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has predicted.
The forecast, set out in the CEBR’s annual World Economic League Table released on Friday, projects that Britain will fall from 19th to 22nd in global GDP per capita rankings by 2030, being overtaken by Hong Kong, Finland, and the UAE.
British living standards are expected to slip behind those of former colony Malta by 2035.
In dollar terms, British GDP per capita is forecast at $58,775 for next year.
According to the report, Britain’s GDP per capita growth is set to be the second-weakest in the G7 over the next five years, trailing only Japan.
CEBR economist Pushpin Singh said Britain confronts a “triple challenge” of high inflation, high debt, and low growth.
He warned that competitiveness is being eroded by rival nations with lower taxes and lighter regulation, while an “inability to shrink state spending” persists.
The report noted that 2025 marked the first full year in office for the Labour government.
Having been elected on a platform to boost growth, only very limited success has been achieved, it said, estimating that the economy grew by just 1.4% in 2025 and projecting an average annual growth rate of around 1.5%.
Singh warned the outlook remains very much skewed to the downside, adding that Britain was in some ways still very much living off its past glories, and that budget speculation over potential tax rises had itself handicapped economic activity in recent months.
