Economic Briefing - January 2005

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

We continue to call for the MPC to keep interest rates on hold.  With few inflationary pressures on the horizon and clearer signs of an orderly slowdown in the housing market, the MPC can afford to wait and see how some of the uncertainties in the global economy develop before taking further action.

In this month's briefing:

  • Inflation
  • GDP Growth
  • Housing Market
  • Manufacturing Output
  • Manufacturing Surveys
  • Business Investment
  • Average Earnings
  • Consumer Spending 
  • The Outlook for 2005
