  2. Summary • A worse outlook than for some time: our central forecast is for two years of below trend growth • Weaker consumer spending for the next few years • Slower growth in the economies of the UK’s major trading partners • We forecast weaker GDP growth than the Treasury in 2008–09 and 2009–10. Thereafter, we project slightly stronger growth than the Treasury
