United Kingdom
Article Abstract:
The UK recorded the highest annual GDP growth of 4% since 1988 in 1994, owing to the country's strong export sector. The government is currently maintaining stringent fiscal and monetary policies to prevent an impending inflation rate increase that may result from the economic recovery. UK government bond prices increased after the Chancellor of the Exchequer raised the interest rates on Feb. 2, 1995. Equity underwriting, on the other hand, has become an object of intense competition in the securities market.
