Domestic Lending Channel Still Impaired The British Banker's Association (BBA)'s most recent loan data in August 2010 suggest that lending conditions in the UK have yet to normalise. According to the data, the number of loans approved for house purchases fell to 33,698 in July, down from 34,575 the previous month and a far cry from the 78,599 peak recorded in November 2006. We believe this is reflective of two key dynamics: 1. Rising unemployment and wealth erosion has elevated the household debt burden. 2. Banks remain in deleveraging mode and are exploiting the Bank of England's discount window to repair their balance sheets. Wealth Erosion And The Debt Burden In the case of the first factor, we stress that the decline in household wealth has been substantial. Despite the rebound since Q109, the average property price is still 9% below the high recorded during the peak of the credit boom (see chart below). Equities have fared little better. Having plunged by 50% during the financial crisis, the benchmark FTSE100 stock index has only managed to get back half of these losses. This has had a significant impact on pension funds that are heavily exposed to the stock market. Alongside capital destruction, the increase in unemployment and pay and benefits freezes have hit household wealth. The unemployment rate reached 7.8% in June 2010, up from a cyclical low of 5.2% in May 2008, and is likely to remain elevated over the medium term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the competitiveness of its manufacturing industry and regulatory environment, the UK leads BMI's Business Environment Ratings for the auto industry in Europe this quarter. However, how long the UK will be able to sustain this position will depend significantly on the regulatory environment in the country. Although the new prime minister, David Cameron, has said commitment to manufacturing is one of the government's main priorities, the business secretary, Vince Cable, has said the new government is unlikely to continue providing direct support for carmakers, except to those in 'exceptional circumstances'. Given that carmakers already face the challenge of rising raw material prices and uncertain currency movements, we stress that the new government will have to ensure that the support to carmakers is withdrawn only after some amount of stability has returned to the market. Figures for the first seven months of this year show that new car sales increased 15.1% year-on-year (y-o-y), to 1.24mn units, but a 13.2% y-o-y fall in July, has cast doubts on whether the market could end 2010 on a positive note. BMI forecasts new car sales will reach 1.98mn units by the end 2010, down nearly 1% compared with last year. We expect more pronounced growth from 2011 when we expect the market to grow nearly 4% y-o-y, to sales of 2.31mn units. Although we expect the economy to return to growth averaging 2.3% y-o-y in 2011, high vehicle ownership levels will limit any significant growth in the passenger car segment. This will limit car sales to 2.3mn units by the end of 2014, only just surpassing the pre-crisis levels of 2008. Production has recovered from the sharp drop last year, rising 41.9% y-o-y, to 808,844 units, in 7M10. However, BMI sticks to its view that output in 2010 is likely to remain well below pre-crisis levels, reaching 1.36mn units by the end of the year. Meanwhile, our expectations of a much stronger recovery in production from 2011 are being weakened by widespread fiscal consolidation, weak bank lending and internal devaluations in the eurozone. Although we expect growth thereafter, we expect output to reach 1.60mn units by the end of 2014, not yet recovering to the pre-crisis level of 1.65mn units produced in 2008. Ford Motor and Vauxhall continue to lead the market, with the former's Fiesta and Focus remaining the best selling models so far this year. Much of the sales growth this year is down to the scrappage scheme, and consumers have shown a preference for smaller low cost cars. Hyundai Motor, Ford, Kia Motors and Volkswagen emerged as the biggest beneficiaries of the incentive, together taking nearly 40% of the total 392,466 vehicles sold under the scheme between January and July this year.

BRITISH politics & government, 1997-2007 ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- ,BRITISH prime ministers ,LEGISLATIVE bills ,ECONOMIC indicators - Abstract
The article presents economic and political information related to Great Britain. The failure of Great Britain's Prime Minister, Tony Blair, to push through parliament a bill despite a 67 seat Labor majority has exposed the chasm between the prime minister and his party. It has also cast serious doubt over his ability to pursue the rest of his reform program and about his future in office. Given weaker than expected figures for the third quarter, industrial production in Great Britain is expected to contract by 1.3 percent in 2005. Recent economic indicators hold out little prospect for a further cut in official interest rates before the second quarter of 2006.

The article presents information on the domestic economy of Great Britain as of April 2005. Chained volume data indicate that real GDP grew by 0.7% quarter on quarter in the final three months of 2004 and by 2.9% year on year. This meant that Great Britain was once again comfortably the fastest-growing of the European Union's four largest member states. The components of GDP, however, suggest that there was a marked change in the pattern of economic activity, with final domestic demand slowing sharply.

This article argues - in line with the proposals of the recent Stiglitz Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress - that we should now be measuring a nation's emotional prosperity rather than its economic prosperity (i.e. we ought to focus on the level of mental well-being, not on the number of pounds in people's bank accounts). The article reviews recent ideas in this field. It also describes seven recent studies that, worryingly, suggest that emotional prosperity may be declining through time. For labour-market specialists, a key question for future research is how much this downward trend can be traced back to increased pressures in working life. That question currently remains open.

The year 2010 may well come to be seen as a tipping point in the political and economic history of Britain in the twenty-first century. This article seeks to establish its potential political and economic significance by reflecting on the implications of the global financial crisis and the new politics of private and public austerity to which it has led. Building from an analysis of the almost unprecedentedly parlous economic predicament the British economy faces, it develops a series of scenarios for the political consequences of deficit reduction and the search for a new growth model in the years ahead.
