Britain is heading for the longest economic
slump on record as recovery from
the recession grinds to a halt, experts
warned last night. The economy will take at least a year
longer to return to pre-crisis levels than
it did in the Great Depression, according
to the National Institute of Economic and
Social Research. And the current depression could be
prolonged further if the global outlook
worsens and the country plunges into a
double-dip recession, where a second
recession occurs after a brief recovery.


Rolling on: Britain's output must grow nearly 4% by March next year to prevent this depression becoming our worst on record

In the Great Depression of the 1930s, it
took four years for gross domestic product
to return to pre-recession levels.
The current depression, which the
institute defines as the recession and
period of recovery when economic
output is still below its previous peak, is
now into its 42nd month, having started in
April 2008.
NIESR economist Simon Kirby said output
must grow nearly 4 per cent by
March to prevent this depression becoming
Britain’s longest.
But the economy
has only grown by 0.2 per cent over the
last nine months and fears are rising
that it is about to go into reverse.
‘The economy needs to grow by 3.8 per
cent over the next six months, which it is
clearly not going to do given what is
happening,’ he warned.
Mr Kirby predicted output would not
return to pre-recession levels until
spring 2013 – a depression of at least five
years.
The Institute for Public Policy Research
claimed the depression could even last
until late 2013 if growth continues to be
disappointing.
Will Straw, director of the think tank,
said: ‘Whichever forecast you use,
Britain’s anaemic recovery is set to be the
slowest since records began.’
In his memoirs, former chancellor
Alistair Darling reveals that at the start
of the recession, then prime minister
Gordon Brown thought it would all be
over in just six months.
