countries such as France, West Germany and Italy.

However, following the 1973 oil crisis and the 1973-1974
stock market crash, the British economy fell into recession
and the government of Edward Heath was ousted by the
Labour Party under Harold Wilson. Wilson formed a minority
government on 4 March 1974 after the General Election on
28th February ended in a hung parliament. Wilson
subsequently secured a three seats majority in a second
election in October that year.
The UK recorded weaker growth than many other
European nations in the 1970s; even after the early 1970s
recession ended, the economy was still blighted by rising
unemployment and double-digit inflation.
In 1976, the UK was forced to request a loan of 2.3
billion from the International Monetary Fund. The then
Chancellor of the Exchequer Denis Healey was required to
implement public spending cuts and other economic reforms
in order to secure the loan. Following the Winter of
Discontent, the government of James Callaghan lost a vote
of no confidence. This triggered the May 1979 General
Election which resulted in Margaret Thatchers Conservative
Party forming a new government.
A new period of neo-liberal economy began in 1979 with
the election of Margaret Thatcher who won the General
Election on 3rd May that year to return the Conservative
Party to government after five years of Labour government.
During the 1980s most state-owned enterprises were
privatised, taxes cut and markets deregulated. GDP fell 5.9%
initially but growth subsequently returned and rose to 5% at
its peak in 1988, one of the highest rates of any European
nation.
The UK economy had been one of the strongest
economies in terms of inflation, interest rates and
unemployment, all of which remained relatively low until the
2008-09 recession. Unemployment has since reached a peak
of just under 2.5 million (7.8%), the highest level since the
early 1990s, although still far lower than some other European
nations. However, interest rates have reduced to 0.5% pa.
During August 2008 the IMF warned that the UK economic
outlook had worsened due to a twin shock: financial turmoil
and rising commodity prices. Both developments harm the
UK more than most developed countries, as the UK obtains
revenue from exporting financial services while recording
deficits in finished goods and commodities, including food.
In 2007, the UK had the worlds third largest current account
deficit, due mainly to a large deficit in manufactured goods.
During May 2008, the IMF advised the UK government to
broaden the scope of fiscal policy to promote external balance.
Although the UKs labour productivity per person
employed has been progressing well over the last two
decades and has overtaken productivity in Germany, it still
lags around 20% behind France, where workers have a 35hour working week. The UKs labour productivity per hour

worked is currently on a par with the average for the old

EU (15 countries). In 2010, the United Kingdom ranked 26th
on the Human Development Index.
The UK entered a recession in Q2 of 2008, according to
the Office for National Statistics and exited it in Q4 of 2009.
The subsequently revised ONS figures show that the UK
suffered six consecutive quarters of negative growth, making
it the longest recession since records began. As at the end of
Q4 2009, revised statistics from the Office for National
Statistics demonstrate that the UK economy shrank by 7.2%
from peak to trough. The Blue Book 2013 confirms that UK
growth in Q2 of 2013 was 0.7%, and that the volume of output
of GDP remains 3.2% below its pre-recession peak. The UK
economys recovery has thus been more lacklustre than
previously thought. Furthermore, The Blue Book 2013
demonstrates that the UK experienced a deeper initial
downturn than all of the G7 economies save for Japan, and
has experienced a slower recovery than all but Italy.
A report released by the Office of National Statistics on
14 May 2013 revealed that over the six-year period between
2005 and 2011, the UK dropped from 5th place to 12th place
in terms of household income on an international scalethe
drop was partially attributed to the devaluation of sterling
over this time frame. However, the report also concluded that,
during this period, inflation was relatively less volatile, the
UK labour market was more resilient in comparison to other
recessions, and household spending and wealth in the UK
remained relatively strong in comparison to other OECD
countries. According to a report by Moodys Corporation,
Britains debt-to-GDP ratio continues to increase in 2013 and
is expected to reach 93% at the end of the year. The UK has
lost its triple-A credit rating on the basis of poor economic
outlook. 2013 economic growth has surprised many
economists, ministers and the OBR in the 2013 budgets
projected annual growth of just 0.6%. In 2013 Ql the economy
grew by 0.4%, in Q2 the economy grew by 0.7% and in Q3 the
economy is predicted to have grown at 0.8%.

than on promoting international commerce. The US, though

typically an enthusiastic supporter of open markets, included
flailing buy American clauses in its stimulus package and
propped up its failing auto industry with handouts.
But according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB),
in the part of the world that was hit hardest by the trade crash
Asia the number of Free-Trade Agreements (FTAs) signed
by Asian countries has grown from just three in 2000 to 56 by
the end of August 2009. Nineteen of those FTAs are among
16 Asian economies, a trend that could help the region become
a powerful trading bloc.
The drive to lower trade barriers has taken on fresh
urgency amid the recession. As Asian manufacturing
networks become more intertwined and as Asian
consumers become wealthier regional commerce is
becoming critical to future economic expansion.
Intraregional trade last year made up 57% of total Asian trade,
up from 37% in 1980. In the past Asia produced for America
and Europe, now Asia is producing for Asia.
Of course, Asia is still dependent on sales to the West.
But FTAs could reduce the regions exposure to the United
States by giving Asian companies preferential treatment in
selling to Asian companies and consumers. These benefits
could come with downsides, however. According to experts,
FTAs create a non-level playing field with advantages for
Asian countries. If the most dynamically growing part of
the global economy gives the US restricted access it will
impact global balance. Companies in countries like the United
States left out of the trade pacts could face disadvantages
when trying to tap fast-growing Asian markets. This, in turn,
could have a negative impact on efforts to rebalance excessive
debt in the US and excessive savings in Asia. Still, the benefits
of greater regional integration could prove powerful enough
to overcome the roadblocks. In Asia, the only thing everyone
agrees upon is business. If it does, the world economy may
never be the same.
71. What do the Asian Development Bank statistics indicate?
1) Asian economies are financially more sound than
those of the developed world.
2) The financial crisis impacted the West far more than
it did Asia.
3) Asian countries have aligned themselves on lines
similar to the European Union.
4) Western countries are sceptical about trading with
developing countries.
5) Asian countries have been actively opening their
markets to one another.
72. What has given rise to the large number of trade
agreements between Asian countries?
1) The need to insulate Asian economies from overexposure to the American economy
2) Angry reaction among Asian countries owing to
Americas protectionist policy

Thus, O S or S O is true. Hence, conclusion I is
true. Again, S < R or R > S is true. Hence, conclusion
II is true. B < R is true. Hence, conclusion III is true.
And B < E is true. Hence, conclusion IV is true.
Given statements: D S ... (i)
S > P ... (ii)
PI
... (iii)
P = T ... (iv)
DS>P=TI
Thus, we cant compare P and D, or I and D. Hence,
conclusions I and IV are not true. Again, P = T is true.
Hence, conclusion II (P T) is not true. And S > T or
T < S is true. Hence, conclusion III is true.
Given statements: U = N ... (i)
N F ... (ii)
