Economic Briefing - May 2005

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

With inflation still below target and mixed data on the consumer side over the past month, there seems little new evidence of growing inflationary pressures to justify a change in interest rates this month.

In this month's briefing:

  • Inflation
  • Manufacturing output
  • Profitability
  • Outlook for May's MPC Meeting
  • Manufacturing Surveys
  • GDP Growth
  • Consumer Spending
  • Employment


The next Economic Briefing will be available on 3rd June
