Key takeaways:
The key question for me is whether firms' wage and price-setting plans are stabilizing at levels slightly higher than what is consistent with a 2% CPI.
Underlying inflation appears to be more like 2.5%, not 2%.
Growth in the UK is positive, but it is not very dynamic; there is a strong cyclical component.
We are not seeing a collapse in activity, and forward-looking indicators do not suggest that this is likely.
Supply constraints may be significant in understanding the lackluster activity.
A significant portion of the rise in the UK unemployment rate is likely to be structural rather than cyclical.”
