UK - Perspectives: Revised GDP data for third quarter is key UK economic release for the week beginning 26 November
GDP growth in the third quarter is not expected to be revised significantly from the surprisingly strong 1.0% quarter-on-quarter expansion currently reported. Recent data suggest it could be trimmed to 0.9% quarter-on-quarter. If the economy is to avoid a renewed GDP dip in the fourth quarter, it will likely need consumers to pick up their spending appreciably, so the hope has to be consumer confidence improved in November and that the Confederation of British Industry distributive trades survey is decent. The worry is consumers are now being pressurized by higher energy and food prices, while earnings growth slowed anew in September after trending up modestly from the lows seen earlier in 2012.

UK - Perspectives: Unemployment and Trade Are the Key UK Economic Releases for the Week Commencing 10 September
The trade deficit is expected to have narrowed in July after hitting a record high in June, when exports very likely were hit more than imports by the two day’s public holiday; however, UK exports were likely limited again by contraction in the Eurozone and generally soft global growth. Meanwhile, serious attention will be focused on the labour market data to see if employment can continue to defy gravity.

Having only acted in July, the Bank of England is unlikely to take further stimulative action in August despite hugely disappointing and worrying GDP contraction of 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the July purchasing managers’ surveys will hopefully show some improvement after activity was held back markedly in June by the two days’ public holiday surrounding the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Most of the recent data and survey evidence on the UK economy has been disappointing and worrying, but there is likely to be some decent news in the coming week’s releases with retail sales lifted in June by the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and consumer price inflation edging down further to a 31-month low. Public finance data for May are likely to have been poor, highlighting the hard battle the chancellor already faces in meeting his fiscal targets for 2012/13. The labor market data may indicate the economy’s return to recession is starting to have an increasingly detrimental impact.

UK - Perspectives: Bank of England Policy Meeting the Key UK Economic Event for the Week of 2 July
The purchasing managers’ surveys for June will provide important clues as to just how much overall economic activity was held back during the month by the extra day’s public holiday to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The weaker the surveys are, the greater will be the danger that the United Kingdom suffered a third quarter of GDP contraction in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the Bank of England is expected to react to the weakened UK economic situation by enacting a further GBP50 billion of quantitative easing at the conclusion of the July meeting of its Monetary Policy Committee on Thursday.

UK - Perspectives: GDP Heads UK Economic Indicators for the Week of 25 June
There is unlikely to be a significant revision to the first-quarter GDP data that show contraction of 0.3% quarter-on-quarter, even though doubts persist that the economy was this weak during January–March. Whether or not the economy really did contract 0.3% then, hopes have waned that further contraction can be avoided in the second quarter, especially as the economy is handicapped by the extra day’s public holiday that resulted from the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Decent retail sales in June would help matters, so attention will focus on the Confederation of British Industry’s distributive trades’ survey for June to see if retreating inflation is encouraging consumers to spend more.

The hope is that GDP data for the first quarter will be revised up from the currently reported contraction; however, the odds of an upward revision to the first quarter appear to have lengthened given that the Office for National Statistics has reported that the contraction in construction output in the first quarter was even deeper than reported in the preliminary GDP release. Much will depend on whether there is an upward revision in the output of the dominant services sector.

It is odds-on the new forecasts will be the all-too-familiar and dispiriting mix of reduced growth but higher inflation expectations.

The likelihood that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee will vote for more quantitative easing (QE) at its 10 May policy meeting remains a close call, given the unpalatable mix of weak economic activity and sticky consumer price inflation. Meanwhile, given the key role of consumer spending in the economy, significant attention will focus on the British Retail Consortium’s retail sales monitor for April to see how well sales held up after the Office for National Statistics reported a 1.8% month-on-month spike in retail sales volumes in March.

The purchasing managers’ surveys for April could have a key role to play as to whether the Bank of England does more Quantitative Easing in May. The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee is currently placing significant importance on recent business activity surveys that point overall to modest underlying growth in the economy, and it is dubious about the 0.2% quarter-on-quarter GDP contraction that was reported by the Office for National Statistics in the first quarter.

UK - Perspectives: GDP in First-Quarter 2012 Headlines UK Economic Releases for the Week Commencing 23 April
There is serious concern that reported very weak construction output was a major drag on the economy and resulted in a second quarter of GDP contraction, thereby officially putting the economy back into recession. Although the Bank of England has heightened this risk, its members question the accuracy of the construction data, given that most other data and survey evidence point to a modestly expanding economy; it is especially hard to equate a 0.8% quarter-on-quarter increase in retail sales volumes in the first quarter and some recent signs of labour-market stabilization with an economy that is not growing.

UK - Perspectives: GDP Heads up UK Economic Releases for the Weed Beginning 26 March
GDP contraction in the fourth quarter of 2011 is expected to be confirmed at 0.2% quarter-on-quarter, but attention is now very much focused on whether the economy has been able to return to growth in the first quarter of 2012. Key to this will be the strength of consumer spending, and the CBI distributive trades survey will hopefully indicate that retail sales improved in March after the Office for National Statistics disappointingly reported that volumes fell 0.8% month-on-month in February. We forecast GDP growth of 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2012, but if retail sales fail to improve in March, this could be optimistic.

Consumer price inflation is expected to have fallen further in February, which will help ease the squeeze on households’ purchasing power; however, oil prices may mean that inflation is stickier than expected. Retail sales are seen retreating modestly in February after a surprisingly strong performance in January. Public finances are seen showing modest improvement in February compared to a year earlier, which could give the chancellor a tiny bit of wiggle room in Wednesday’s budget. Nevertheless, there can be little doubt that the Chancellor will stick to his tight fiscal stance, particularly given that Fitch recently put the UK’s treasured (by the government, at least) AAA credit rating on negative outlook.

The Confederation of British Industry’s distributive trades’ survey for February and the GfK/NOP consumer confidence indicator will provide significant clues as to whether the consumer is genuinely perking up or whether January’s robust sales were primarily driven by people looking to take advantage of the clearance sales and they are still reluctant to spend significantly.

Fourth-Quarter 2010 GDP and Bank of England Minutes Highlight Key U.K. Economic Releases for the Week Beginning 24 January
Much attention will be focused on Wednesday's release of the minutes of the January meeting of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to see if their finger is tightening on the trigger for an interest-rate hike. Another key release will be the first estimate of GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2010. Growth is expected to have slowed from the 0.7% quarter-on-quarter rate achieved in the third quarter, but a major uncertainty is just how much overall activity was hit by December's severe weather.
