The UK's economy, supported by a strong institutional framework and capital markets, is facing significant challenges due to high public debt, rising borrowing costs, and trade tensions caused by US tariffs.

Additionally, increased military spending could exacerbate public-sector deficits, while mounting public debt is projected to reach 114.2% of GDP by 2029.
