Look, I'm always gonna defer to our colleagues here in in the wider business regarding the shape of growth of the rest of the year and beyond.
But I think the bottom line is that growth is likely to amend fairly subdued, right?
Uh outside of that Middle East conflict, which is very, of course, largely impossible to predict events and how they would affect.
There were there's plenty of other headwinds that colleagues identified at the start of this year.
The stronger currency, the potential continuation of loss of maybe market share to to mainline China and other economies, among that kind of longstanding competitiveness problem that uh i is apparent in Europe.
And then of course we also had the higher tariffs on exports to the US.
And I think they all remain in play and and will continue to weigh on economic problems.
Performance.
Which I think fits into that general perception, doesn't it, at the moment of the American economy kind of sucking in lots of capital around the artificial intelligence kind of boom, as you guys have highlighted.
And I think on the subject of in AI in terms of our survey c capabilities, I think it's worth flagging, isn't it, that we'll be conducting another survey of our panelists later in the year.
It's I think it's the third year that we'll be doing this and there's been a
really interesting kind of area for us to expand into.
And I know that Andrew, you've been very closely involved with that having alongside our colleague Polly.
What it's tended to do is been really insightful in terms of understanding how AI is being adopted.
Kind of we're getting a little bit more the depths and kind of areas of how AI is being used and its impact on kind of the labour force, such as roles being made redundant or roles being created.
So a really broad kind of areas of AI adoption at the moment and how these trends are developing.
So I do think that's something that's worth flagging and something to look forward to later in the year.
Hopefully we'll be able to discuss that by our final podcast of the year.
I think the results should hopefully be available November, December time.
If not, we'll be able to discuss it early next year.
