Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)
- Constrained by economic forecasts, the Chancellor mustered tax cuts of only 0.5% of GDP in 2024/25.
- That boosts GDP 0.2%, and inflation less. Duty freezes lower MPC near-term inflation forecasts 0.2pp.
- This won’t shift the economic needle, or the MPC’s thinking, much. We expect the first rate cut in June.
Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
- In one line: Growth beating the MPC's forecast, supporting services inflation.
Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
- In one line: Stagnant, but real wage growth and interest rate cuts will help.
Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
- In one line: Rain stopped play, sales will recover.
Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
- We think GDP rose 0.2% month-to-month in January, as retail sales stormed back from December’s drop.
- That is not a flash in the pan, as the PMI shows firms’ optimism in the growth outlook at a two-year high.
- We expect GDP to rise 0.3% quarter-to-quarter in Q1, above the MPC’s 0.1% forecast.
Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
- CPI inflation likely fell to 3.5% in February, from 4.0% in January, matching the MPC’s forecast.
- Base effects should cut services inflation, while weaker costs continue to reduce goods inflation.
- Another ONS update to the CPI weights should have only a small impact outside of airfares.
Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)UK
- We remain optimistic about GDP this year, expecting quarter-to-quarter growth to average 0.3%.
- Energy-price falls will lower inflation below 2% in Q2, supporting the real wage outlook.
- We expect the MPC to lower rates by 75bp in 2024, but sticky services inflation could delay the first cut.
