The impact of rapid reopening from pandemic lockdowns, a global phenomenon, has been exacerbated by something that’s unique to Britain: trade frictions after the country’s exit from the European Union.\nWith U.K. inflation at 4.2%, the Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates sooner than its peers at the Fed and ECB.
