Economic Briefing - October 2008

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

With the crisis in financial markets deepening, the Bank should cut interest rates to provide an immediate boost to business and consumer confidence.

Government should back this with a pre-budget package setting out a strategy to help companies through the current turmoil and ensure they are in a position to take advantage of an upturn.

In this issue:

  • Inflation
  • Housing markets
  • Manufacturing
  • Labour market
  • Consumer spending and the risks of a recession
