UK economy or UK's economy

I intend to hand in my MBA project in the next couple of days. My lecturer reviewed a draft of it and commented on my use of "UK's economy" instead of his suggested "UK economy".

I see his point, but my thinking is that it is the economy belonging to the UK and thus " 's". I have seen both both in various literature, and maybe both are acceptable.

Anyone able to clarify this?

Broadly speaking, both sound OK to me. It perhaps somewhat depends on the context.

'UK economy' is more formal and more fitting for the paper you are writing. 'UK's economy is more appropriate to conversation.
