America’s economy is set to grow three times as fast as the UK’s this year as both countries go to the polls to elect a new leader, senior economists forecast on Monday.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development predicted the US economy will expand by 2.1 per cent in 2024, an upgrade of 0.6 percentage points on its November forecast, while Britain will see growth of 0.7 per cent, an unchanged figure.
