The UK economy is one of the largest in the world, with a GDP of about $3.2 trillion in 2023. It relies mainly on services, such as finance, banking, insurance, and technology, which make up around 80% of its economy. Manufacturing and agriculture are also important, though smaller, sectors.

With the new UK government in place, pro-business policies are expected to bring positive results in the upcoming calendar year.

Competency and pro-business-oriented policies will be crucial factors for the growth of the UK economy in the long term.
