Economic Briefing - August 2008

EEF's monthly bulletin examines economic trends for manufacturing, engineering and technology-based businesses.

The MPC continues to be pulled in opposing directions by rising inflation and slowing growth. While inflationary pressures remain elevated and the growth outlook weaker the MPC should maintain rates, but the need to cut if activity weakens further may come sooner rather than later.

In this issue:

  • Interest rates
  • Inflation
  • Housing market
  • Consumer spending
  • Economic activity
