UK economic growth will suffer because of US tariff barriers and high interest payments on government debt, an influential global policy group has said.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) cut its expectations for UK growth this year to 1.3% from the 1.4% it had predicted in March.

The think tank has cut forecasts globally due to trade tensions, but said the UK faced particular issues due to its "very thin" buffer in public finances, calling on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to boost tax take and cut spending.In response to the OECD's comments, Reeves said she was "determined to go further and faster to put more money in people's pockets through our plan for change".Next week, Reeves will set out her Spending Review where she faces tough choices on allocating departmental budgets.

The government has already committed billions of pounds to defence, while the NHS is also expected to be a focus amid Labour's pledge to reduce waiting lists.In March, Reeves was forced to announce £14bn in measures, including £4.8bn in welfare cuts, to restore headroom against her self-imposed fiscal rules.

While the OECD highlighted better-than-expected UK economic growth, which strengthened to 0.7% between January and March, it cautioned that "momentum is weakening" due to "deteriorating" business sentiment.

It forecast the UK economy would expand by 1% in 2026, compared to the 1.2% it pencilled in a few months ago."The state of the public finances is a significant downside risk to the outlook if the fiscal rules are to be met," the OECD said.

It suggested that Reeves should adopt a "balanced approach" of "targeted spending cuts" and tax increases to improve the UK's public finances."Strengthening the public finances remains a priority... including through the upcoming Spending Review," the OECD said.

It suggested closing tax loopholes and re-evaluating council tax bands based on updated property values.Under the current system, council tax in England is calculated based on the price the property would have sold for in April 1991. For Wales, it is evaluated on property prices in April 2003.
