Bearing in mind the above and with the UK out performing the Euro zone, whilst the IMF is now saying this will continue to do so for at least the next two years. I would argue that whilst maybe notĀ holding all the cards the UK certainly has the substantially hand, especially when considered that there are going to be other trade negotiations going on in parallel.

More goodĀ economic news for usĀ to celebrate today, nice to see the FT reporting it positivelyĀ šŸ˜‰



"UK manufacturers have become much more optimistic about the outlook for business since October, according to a survey published on Wednesday that could be an early sign of a post-election rebound in economic growth. The turnround in sentiment was the biggest on record in the CBIā€™s quarterly industrial trends survey, which has been published since 1958. The share of manufacturers expecting business to improve is 23 per cent larger than the share expecting conditions to worsen ā€” the highest since 2014; whereas in October, doom-mongers outnumbered optimists by 44 per cent."

How does this fit with yourĀ economic analysis BF?

Good to see that under the new editor the FT has kept to the policy of the previous editors of unbiased and - crucially - realistic journalism, even if - or perhaps especially if - that means pessimistic assessments of government wishful thinking:

Chancellor Sajid Javid has declared his ambition to restore Britainā€™s economy to its postwar glory days. He told the Financial Times in an interview last week that he wanted to boost economic growth rates to around 2.7 to 2.8 per cent ā€” the level they averaged from 1945 up to the global financial crisis.

Ā It is a startling goal. UK gross domestic product has grown faster than 2.5 per cent in just one year since the 2008 crisis. Economistsā€™ average forecast is for GDP growth of only 1.1 per cent in 2020.

Mr Javid will only be able to achieve his GDP goal if he engineers a transformation in the UKā€™s dismal performance on productivity growth ā€” raising it from near zero now to its pre-crisis average of above 2 per cent per year.

The overarching issue is that no policy Mr Javid can devise is likely to help the UK overcome the challenge on productivity that is defeating almost every major economy in the world.

I like the use of the term ā€œdoom-mongersā€Ā 

Just when I thought the remainers on here were easing away from the blinkered doom-mongering it appears that for many its more of a personality disorder and no good news is good news.

A lot of politically inspired pointĀ scoringĀ nonsense on here. Of course there is rebound in optimism as the prospect of no-deal has moved away. It may well be back though!

Fuller quote from CBi below (BBC) which may giveĀ moreĀ more food for thought - thoseĀ that can anyway!Ā 

Ā 

Manufacturers reported a surge in optimism in the three months to January, marking the largest upward swing in sentiment in a single quarter on record, according to the latest CBI quarterly industrial trends survey.

The survey of 300 manufacturing firms reported that business optimism improved significantly in the quarter to January, at the fastest pace since April 2014.

Meanwhile, export sentiment continued to fall, but was noticeably less gloomy compared to last quarter.

ā€œManufacturers are entering the new year with a spring in their step," said Anna Leach, CBI deputy chief economist.

"Firms are now planning to invest more in plants and machinery, which will ultimately help increase capacity and output.

ā€œHowever, this boost to sentiment belies poor trading conditions over the past quarter, with output and orders still declining.

"If we are to build on this rebound in optimism among UK manufacturers, it is crucial for the UK and EU to establish a trade deal that supports growth in this sector.ā€

By definition any surveys being released now, including any that show some very cautious optimism based on hopes of a business-friendly Brexit, were carried out before Friday's interview with Javid in which he promised - or threatened, depending on your level of economic insanity/sanity - the hardest of hard Brexits!
