The South West is only one of two regions in England set to gain ground on London's economy over the next three years as the UK recovers from Covid-19, according to a new report.
Accountancy giant Ernst and Young (EY) has forecast the region’s economy, measured by the value of goods and services produced or Gross Value Added (GVA), to be 9% larger in 2025 than it was in 2019
This would give the South West the second-largest increase among English regions, behind only the East Midlands (9.5%) and ahead of London (8.9%).
