Growth in the final quarter of 2018 is expected to be around 1.4% based on the latest data from the ONS. 1.4% is now our forecast for the year as a whole with a similar level of output expected in 2019.
Service sector remains the driver of growth in the absence of investment and public sector expenditure expansion. And what of manufacturing?

For the final quarter of the year we expect manufacturing output to fall by around 1% compared to heady growth of 2.5% in the first quarter of the year. Something is happening in the sector as domestic demand slows, Brexit fears rise and world trade activity slows. "Tariff Man" Trump continues to wreak havoc with threats of more trade tariffs.
