4. Is the first UK rate hike imminent?
- Subjects
ECONOMIC forecasting ,INTEREST rate forecasting ,PRICE inflation ,MONETARY policy ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- - Abstract
The events of the past couple of months have led us to push out our call for the first UK rate hike from February 2016 to May 2016. The financial market turmoil of late summer, increasingly dovish commentary from the MPC, the enduring strength of sterling and the likelihood of lower inflation over the next six months are all factors which point to the first rate hike coming later., This is a modal forecast which is consistent with our baseline forecast playing out. But the escalating downside risks would imply a mean forecast which shows the first rate hike coming even later still and the subsequent path of monetary tightening being shallower. This explains why the expectations of financial markets may appear to be more bearish than our own. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LABOR unions ,COLLECTIVE bargaining ,LABOR union members ,PRICE inflation ,BRITISH economic policy, 2010- ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- - Abstract
Over the past 30 years, British unions have been marginalised from economic policymaking. Union membership and collective bargaining coverage have fallen dramatically, and the sometimes negative economic impact of unions at the workplace level has disappeared. While strong unions were once key contributors to macroeconomic problems such as high inflation, the weakening of organised labour has created other economic problems for policymakers in Britain, such as rising inequality. The social and political consequences of deepening inequality may force a reconsideration of the role of both the state and of unions in upholding labour standards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- ,ECONOMIC forecasting ,ECONOMIC development ,PRICE inflation ,GROSS domestic product - Abstract
The article focuses on the economic forecast related to economic conditions prevailing in Great Britain. The country will experience its weakest two-year period of growth since 1991-92, with real gross domestic product set to expand by just 1.8% in 2006. The main impetus to activity will once again come from the services sector, although industrial production should recover in 2006-07 after contracting in 2005. During the course of 2005 inflation rose sharply against a backdrop of surging international oil prices. The short-term interest rate differential that has underpinned sterling's exchange rate since mid-2003 will narrow, weakening sterling's external value against the euro in 2006 and 2007, with Great Britain interest rates on a downward path.

ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- ,BRITISH economic policy, 2010- ,PRICE inflation ,PRICES ,FINANCIAL crises - Abstract
The first decade of monetary policy independence saw a period of low and stable inflation, but over the past six years this has given way to higher, and more volatile, inflation. The increase in inflation rates has both external and domestic origins. Higher commodity prices, in particular food, and rising prices of manufactured goods imported from emerging markets have been important. In both cases the sharp depreciation of the pound in the aftermath of the financial crisis has compounded the impact on the UK. There has also been a marked step upwards in domestic inflationary pressures which has largely come from administered & regulated prices, such as domestic energy prices and university tuition fees. These categories account for just 10% of the inflation basket, but over the past six years they have contributed 0.9ppts to an average CPI inflation rate of 3.1%... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses Labour's record on monetary policy and the record of the MPC which it created. The paper begins by discussing the conceptual framework and institutions behind inflation targeting as it operates in the UK. We then discuss the successes that it enjoyed up to 2007 and debate the lessons that are being learned as a consequence of the experience since then. We then raise some of the formidable challenges that UK monetary policy must now face up to including maintaining the credibility of the inflation targeting regime in the face of greater interdependence between monetary and fiscal policy, and between monetary policy and support to the banking system and financial markets.
