The think tank did, however, revise its estimate for the UK economy,the world’s sixth largest, and now expects it to contract by 10.1% rather than the 11.5% it forecast in June. It is also expected to shrink next year, by, the OECD expects, 7.6% while unemployment will rise from its current 4.5% to 7.1%.
