Economic Briefing - February 2005

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

We continue to call for interest rates to be left on hold until a clearer picture emerges of what is happening across the economy. Recent surveys have been mixed, although a slowdown seems likely after stronger conditions last year. However, we also believe that the Bank should stand ready to take corrective action if necessary. 

In this month's briefing:

  • Inflation
  • GDP Growth
  • Housing Market
  • Manufacturing Output
  • International Manufacturing Surveys
  • Producer Prices
  • Retail Sales
  • The MPC's Next Move
