skynews 13-OCT-09

[ said]: Whether the construction sector is expanding modestly or contracting modestly, it undeniably currently faces an extremely challenging environment,

telegraph 02-FEB-12

[ said]: This suggests that there is a very decent chance that the manufacturing sector will return to growth in the first quarter of 2012 after contributing significantly to overall GDP contraction … in the fourth quarter of 2011. However, whether or not the UK can avoid further contraction in the first quarter will depend mainly on what happens to services output and consumer spending,

guardian 01-FEB-12

[said:]: Housing market activity is likely to be pressurised appreciably in the early months of 2012 at least by weakened economic activity, rising unemployment, muted wage growth and very low consumer confidence.

independent 01-FEB-12

[-said]: With the Euro zone likely to have suffered contraction in the fourth quarter of 2011 and in serious danger of enduring a further decline in the first quarter of 2012 at least, and with business confidence weak, the likelihood is that the Euro zone unemployment rate will move significantly higher, although the situation is likely to vary appreciably across countries.

ibtimes 31-JAN-12

[ said]: Consumer desire to get a tight grip on their finances is clearly the consequence of current heightened concerns over the outlook for the economy and jobs,

bbc 31-JAN-12

[ said]: Weakened domestic economic activity, intensified fiscal tightening in many countries and still serious uncertainties and concerns over the euro zone sovereign debt crisis continue to limit an improvement in sentiment,

ibtimes 30-JAN-12

[ said]: The sharp moderation in annual growth in loans to the private sector in December, particularly the appreciable monthly fall in loans to businesses, will reinforce concern that credit conditions are now increasingly tightening and posing a mounting risk to already struggling euro-zone economic activity,

bloomberg 27-JAN-12

[ said]: The moderation in loans to the private sector also likely reflects corporates becoming more cautious in their behaviour and in their investment plans in the current weakened and uncertain economic environment, and cutting back their demand for credit,

france24 27-JAN-12

[said:]: We have little doubt the Bank of England will announce at least a further 50bn of QE in February, and believe that a further 50bn portion is highly likely to follow in the second quarter.

heraldscotland 26-JAN-12

[ said]: There remains a very real danger that Mr Osborne will before long face the difficult decision of accepting further slippage in his fiscal targets, or imposing more fiscal tightening on a struggling economy,

dailymail 24-JAN-12

[ said]: While the January purchasing managers’ surveys lift hopes that euro zone activity is stabilizing, they also suggest that the euro zone is far from out of the economic woods,

irishsun 24-JAN-12

telegraph 13-JAN-12

bbc 12-JAN-12

[ said]: The overall impression continues to be that the UK economy is struggling markedly,

ibtimes 12-JAN-12

[ said]: Bank of England inaction at the conclusion of the January MPC meeting seems probable given that October's £75 billion extension to the quantitative easing programme is not due to be completed until early February,

france24 11-JAN-12

channelnewsasia 06-JAN-12
