Economic Briefing - November 2004

A monthly bulletin examining economic trends for manufacturing, engineering and technology-based businesses.

With inflation under control and few signs of pressure building, we again recommend that the MPC leave interest rates on hold in November.  However, we feel it is too soon to say that rates have peaked or for the MPC to call an end to this phase of monetary tightening as this could be counterproductive.  

In this month's briefing:

  • Inflation
  • Manufacturing
  • GDP Growth
  • Housing Market
  • Consumer
  • International
  • Inflation Forecast
  • Manufacturing Output
  • Manufacturing Surveys
  • Oil Price
  • International Forecasts
