Insights into uk manufacturing - the real economy

What to worry about in 2010

Jeegar Kakkad January 05, 2010 12:55

Back at work and the newspapers are full of prognostications about 2010. What are we worried about?

  • Monetary policy being tightened too quickly or too slowly.
  • Public finance problems being tackled too quickly and the rising risk of sovereign default.
  • Slow domestic growth and unsustainable global growth.
  • The need to deleverage and the lack of adequate lending.
  • Fixed exchange rates and volatile exchange rates.
  • Labour market flexibility and a jobless recovery.

Throw in an uncertain election and 2010 should be just as maddening as 2009.
