GDP gain prediction for this year by the employers' group is 1.3%, cut from 1.4% given previously, while the forecast for the next year is lessened by 0.1% to 1.4%. The prospects for consumer expenditures and investment were subdued, and the coming years would become a testing time for British firms, the Chambers said.
