Just reading up the confederation of British industry are saying Labour shortage could last two years and is going to hit the economic recovery

LONDON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Britain must relax its new immigration rules to allow in more foreign workers and ease labour shortages caused by the coronavirus pandemic and Brexit, a leading employers group, the Confederation of British Industry, said on Monday.

Since COVID restrictions began to ease earlier this year, allowing the economy to reopen, companies have complained increasingly of a lack of workers especially in hospitality, food processing and logistics which has led to gaps on supermarket shelves and restaurant closures.

Sterling rose to a three-week high on Friday afternoon after a weaker than expected U.S. jobs report cast doubt on the Federal Reserve's plan to taper its asset purchase policy, which will in turn impact the dollar.

The pound had seen listless trading this week in the absence of major British economic data or policymaker speeches.

The speed of Britain's COVID-19 vaccination programme had contributed to the pound being the best performer among G10 currencies this year, but it has since lost that crown amid some potential clouds on the economic horizon.

UK stocks might finally be back in the good books of global investors.

'It's now a little over five years since the Brexit referendum and over that period UK equities have found themselves decidedly unloved,' says Thomas Moore, senior investment director at Aberdeen Standard Investments.

LONDON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Britain's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic lost more momentum last month than originally estimated as staff shortages and supply chain issues weighed on companies in the country's huge services sector, a survey showed on Friday.

The IHS Markit/CIPS UK Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 55.0 in August, revised lower from a preliminary "flash" reading of 55.5 and down sharply from 59.6 in July.
