The UK Labour Party set an ambitious target of achieving the highest sustained economic growth within the G7 in its manifesto prior to its victory in the 2024 United Kingdom general election.

In an interview from the 27th of June, 2024, the Labour leader Keir Starmer expressed his intent to achieve a growth rate comparable to the Labour government of the 1997-2010 period of about 2.5% each year (this seems to have been true for the period of whole years 1998 to 2008 inclusive, but declined below 2.5% afterwards).
