Rural UK ‘particularly at risk’ of diesel shortages if Iran war continues
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) warns rural UK areas face heightened diesel shortage risk if the Iran conflict continues, while revising UK economic growth forecasts to 0.9% in 2026 (up from 0.7%) and 1.1% in 2027 (down from 1.3%). The OECD also predicts UK inflation will average 3.7% in 2026, stay above the 2% target at 2.4% in 2027, and expects the Bank of England to cut interest rates to 3.5% instead of raising them to address price pressures.
