Based on a survey of the public affairs community, this report analyses the results across five different sectors – corporate, membership organisation, charity, research and consultancy sectors – to determine on a group-by-group basis what they think about the state of the UK’s economy and what they feel are the main issues affecting both their organisations and the wider political environment.
The report found that most respondents believe that there will be an overall decline in the economic situation in the UK over the coming year. Only around 26% of people surveyed suggested that there would be an improvement of any kind (large or small), compared to 48% of respondents stating that they expected a decline. However pessimistic though the respondents seem to be regarding the UK's economy in 2012, when compared to last year's results, there is some optimism: the 2010 State of the Nation survey found that 21% of respondents expected an improvement in the following year, compared to 60% expecting a decline.
There is also an increasing trend towards moderation, with a lower percentage of people expecting a large decline in the general economic situation in the 2011 survey than in 2010 (13% to 26%); however, an equivalently low number of respondents expected a large improvement in both years (1% and 0% respectively).
