Prediction follows Q2 output drop

The worsening UK recession could lead to the country losing its AAA credit rating, according to the Financial Times.

The prediction follows the UK’s output falling 0.7% in the second quarter.

In April, Standard & Poors affirmed its AAA rating for the country, but warned that this could see “downward pressure” if the country saw unexpectedly bad economic growth.
