BOE’s recent rhetoric around rate hike continues to look ill-judged – BBC Survey
|The quarterly economic survey conducted by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), painted a bleak picture of the UK’s economic growth prospects, indicating that the Bank of England (BOE) rate hike talks appear ill-judged”.
Key Points:
The UK services and manufacturing company domestic sales picked up slightly in Q2.
The UK business investment intentions and confidence weaken.
BCC Head of Economics Suren Thiru, noted:
"While the modest pick-up in domestic activity points to a slight rebound in growth from a weak first quarter, there remains little evidence in the current data to suggest a sustained upturn in the UK's economic growth prospects.
Against this backdrop, the Bank of England's recent rhetoric around raising interest rates continues to look ill-judged."
