The latest CBI forecast predicts things are going to get worse for the economy before they get better. According to the CBI press release: “...it will take until the second half of next year until the impact of interest rate cuts, falling inflation, the relative weakness of sterling, plus the fiscal boost, start to have a stabilising effect. The rapidly deteriorating global economy and the continued difficulties UK businesses are facing in accessing credit will push the economy deeper into recession in 2009.” CBI predictions include:

the recession will last throughout 2009;
the economy is expected to contract by 3.3%;
unemployment will reach close to 2.9 million by the end of the year; and
the economy is expected to stabilise early next year with the recovery building throughout 2010.
