The UK economy is still a long way from "a strong and sustainable recovery", the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned in May 2013.

In its concluding statement on its mission to the UK, the IMF said on the 21 May 2013 that austerity measures were acting as a drag on the economy. The United Kingdom could boost growth by bringing forward measures already included in its fiscal plan, such as spending on infrastructure and job skills.
