Guest proud2beaussie Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Lets hope they are right,IMHO it's a bit early to be making that call but hey I'm no economist,if they are right it's good news. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/economics/article6472439.ece The recession was declared over by the country’s leading economics think-tank yesterday after it released upbeat estimates showing that growth in GDP resumed in April and May. The upbeat verdict that Britain’s slump is at an end came from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research after official figures revealed the first gains in manufacturing output for 14 months, adding to a recent spate of signs of recovery. Estimates of the economy’s overall performance by the institute, based on the manufacturing figures, indicated that GDP bottomed out in March and began to rise again in April and May. Martin Weale, the institute’s director, said he believed that the recession was now over “as far as I can tell”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oz2012 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Britain is heading out of recession *coughs* ROFL - UK Recovery after recession will be felt for many years to come, public debt will still exist long after upturn. The suffering we are living with will take at least a 10 year period to recover from and for some never. Even if Goverment claim an end to recession Companies will hord onto slow incoming funds to regain lost profits and further retain a nest egg in case of future downturn... Meanwhile the cost and standard of living will remain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 And apparently the rest of the UK population agree with them! Voters are optimistic that the economy will start to recover - Times Online Voters detect green shoots in the economy according to a new poll for The Times, amid hopes that Britain will be the first of the big countries to emerge from recession.
