Economy remains weak, says BCC

The UK's recovery is still weak and the "serious risk" of an economic setback remains.

This is the view of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) despite its figures showing that the country avoided a double dip recession with growth in the first quarter of 2010.

David Frost, the organisation's director general, said business confidence is returning and the next government should avoid introducing additional business taxes in order to aid the recovery.

"Confidence is building and the government must nurture this with well-thought out policies that support business growth and job creation," he said.

This could inspire a number of firms to cut down on their running costs through the use of an effective facilities management provider.

David Kern, chief economist at the BCC, added: "Whatever the outcome of the election, a new Government must produce a more credible medium-term plan for cutting the country's huge Budget deficit and reducing spending."

The comments follow the confirmation that a general election will be held in the UK on May 6th.
