ONS Screw Up Again

I have written on numerous occasions on this site about the unreliability of the ONS figures, eg in 2013 I wrote:

"Here we are in May 2013, and yet again the ONS have been forced to revise their figures. It seems that Q1 construction figures reported by the ONS were wrong, and need to be revised upwards. As such the UK was not in recession in Q1 2013."

Sadly the government have been using ONS figures to determine Covid policy, which in turn impacts the economy.

Guess what?

 As Robert Peston writes on this thread, the ONS data was wrong!

When shaping policy to protect us from Covid-19, the government relies on data from @ONS to provide the scientific basis for its actions. The weekly @ONS coronavirus survey is supposed to be the information gold standard - and in particular it underpinned...

Economy Becalmed In The Doldrums

The UK's economy rebounded more slowly than expected in May, growing just 1.8% from the previous month, as the gradual easing of lockdown had a modest impact.

That being said, it must not be forgotten that the UK was still under a fair degree of lockdown in May.

Unemployment Claims Rise

Unsurprisingly the number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits jumped by 69% to 2.1m between March and April, the biggest month on month increase since records began in 1971, according to data from the UK’s Office for National Statistics.

The number of vacancies, estimated at 637,000 in the three months to April, was 170,000 fewer than the previous quarter and 210,000 fewer than a year earlier.

Once the economy is fully opened up, there will be a recovery in the job market. However, the speed at which that recovery happens will not necessarily be as fast as people want/need it to be.

UK Property Market Reopens

The amendments to the regulations (see above) allow members of the public to visit sales or lettings agencies, developers’ sales offices, show homes, view properties for sale or rent, prepare properties prior to moving in and move home.

Agents are also allowed to visit any rental or sales property to get them ready for sale, which means appraisals, valuations and photography.

Safety advice includes the following:

• Vendors will have to wait outside while viewings are completed, or in different parts of a house if it’s large enough.
• Potential buyers will not be allowed to touch surfaces including doorknobs and agents will have to have to carry wipes and disinfectant.
• Those completing viewings including agents will have to wear masks and gloves and must not present any COVID-19 symptoms including a cough.
• Only two people will be able to attend viewings – children and other members of a family will not be able to come.

Bank of England Predicts Economic Recovery in 2021

The Bank of England predicts that for the year as a whole, the British economy is expected to contract by 14%. This would be the biggest annual decline on record, according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) data dating back to 1949.

It would also be the sharpest annual contraction since 1706.

However, UK growth is expected to rebound in 2021 to 15% and the economy is expected to get back to its pre-virus peak mid 2021.

According to the Governor, Andrew Bailey, any permanent damage is expected to be relatively small. He praised the action by the government to support workers and businesses through wage subsidies, loans and grants. He said the success of these schemes and the Bank's own stimulus meant there would be "limited scarring to the economy".

The economy was likely to recover "much more rapidly than the pull back from the global financial crisis."

Kudos To My Bank!

Kudos to my bank for responding so quickly to the Bank of England's stimulus package wrt Covid19.

They have reduced the interest rate on my savings account from 0.1% to 0.01%.

However, they have inexplicably forgotten to follow the FCA directive wrt zeroising interest on overdrafts or implementing a debt repayment holiday.

FCA Orders Loan and Credit Card Payments Freeze

The FCA has announced plans to freeze loan and credit card payments for up to three months as part of emergency measures for consumers impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

The measures could come into force as soon as 9 April. The Financial Conduct Authority said the process was being fast-tracked “given the national emergency and the significant impact on consumers’ finances right now”.

It is aimed at consumers and renters who are not benefiting from existing relief measures that have targeted homeowners – with mortgage payment holidays – or business owners.

The proposals include a temporary freeze on loan and credit card payments for consumers who are facing financial difficulties as a result of the outbreak.

The FCA said consumers who were at risk of having their credit cards suspended because of the regulator’s new affordability rules would not lose access to their accounts.

Lenders would also have to waive interest charges on arranged overdrafts up to £500 over the same period, which would extend relief already announced by some banks including Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds.

Bank of England Knocks Banks' Heads Together

Quite rightly the Bank of England has told banks not to pay any dividends (amounting to £8bn) during the current Covid-19 emergency, in order to:

-shore up the banks' reserves,
-send a signal to the markets and
-ensure that the banks don't have the excuse of limited funds when granting loans during this period.

The Bank of England has also asked the banks to forego bonuses, it is not yet clear whether the banks heard that request!

As a result of this, banks' shares have nosedived and dragged the FTSE down with them. However, this fall in the FTSE is likely only temporary once people see that the banks play their role in supporting businesses and individuals during this crisis...we hope!

Banks Being Banks - Who Would Have Thought It!?

Banks have been criticised by firms and MPs for insisting on personal guarantees to issue government-backed emergency loans to business owners. 

The requirement loads most of the risk that the loan goes bad on the business owner, rather than the banks.

It means that the banks can go after the personal property of the owner of a firm if their business goes under and they cannot afford to pay off the debt.

Their main home would be protected but the bank could go after other assets.
