Now just ahead of that Parliament votes at the UK lowered its economic growth forecast for this year, downing it from 1.6% to 1.2%. Country's Finance Minister Philip Hammond said this is due to the uncertainty of Brexit and global economic slowdown. Hammond warned a no deal Brexit will have an negative impact on the UK's economy in short term including increasing unemployment rates, lowering wages and rising prices. However, Chancellor the Exchequer is still optimistic about the British economy in the long run. He said country's economic growth forecast remains at 1.4 percent for the year 2020. Hammond also said if Parliament can successfully reach a Brexit deal in the coming weeks, the 26 billion pounds or 34 billion US dollars set aside for No Deal Brexit could be saved for public spending and tax cuts.

英国议会投票前，将2019年经济增长预期从1.6%下调至1.2%。英国财政大臣菲利普·哈蒙德表示，这是因为英国脱欧和全球经济放缓的不确定性。哈蒙德警告说，无协议脱欧将在短期内对英国经济产生负面影响，包括失业率上升、工资下降和物价上涨。不过，英国财政大臣仍对英国经济的长期前景持乐观态度。他说，中国对2020年经济增长的预测仍然是1.4%。哈蒙德还表示，如果英国议会能够在未来几周内成功达成脱欧协议，那么为无协议脱欧而预留的260亿英镑（合340亿美元）可以用于公共支出和减税。
