1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. 2 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: Always with Michael McKee. Daily we bring you insight from 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: the best in economics, finance, investment, and international relations. Find 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Surveillance on iTunes, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com, and of 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: course on the Bloomberg. It's the most hotly anticipated Bank 6 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: of England decision of this decade. Well maybe not of 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 1: the second because actually it was highly anticipated also three 8 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Anything post Brexit is highly anticipated. Governor Mark 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: Karny has expect to cut rates in about ninety minutes. 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: We'll bring in Brian Colton, now Fit Ratings chief Economists 11 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: to exactly talk us through what he's expecting. Brian, great 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: to have you on the program. This is highly anticipated. 13 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: Last month, it was highly anticipated until we get of 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: some kind of an idea resolution about what the data 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: post Brexit looks like. We need to have the BOE 16 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: try and help us figure it out. Absolutely, I mean, 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: this is a very important meeting, but we certainly I 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: don't think you can expect any big bazookers at this one. 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if we think about the radical moves that 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: people have been talking about them going to negative interest 21 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: rates or even very sharply ramping up the QUEI program. 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: I'm not sure either those are really appropriate at this stage. 23 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: Negative rates, well, the biggest impact we've seen elsewhere from 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: negative rates has actually been to weaken the currency. Sterling 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: is already weakened a lot of the Bank of England 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: can't completely ignore the impacts of Sterling on inflation and 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: then on on QUEI. Where the benefits there were to 28 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: being long term interest rates down, well they've come they've 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: come down. So I think it's going to be much 30 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: more nuanced than that, and to sub extent, as you 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: intimate in your question, there will be more interesting I 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: think in what the Bank of England thinks is happening 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: to the economy from this Brian, what do you think 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: is happening? Because we had some some pretty terrible figures, 35 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: But you you need to take a view on whether 36 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: the month of July, because of the shark of Brexit, 37 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: which the markets and businesses weren't expecting, is for that month, 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: or whether it's a trend that will continue as we 39 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: go on that the measures we've had so far we're 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: really just a couple of survey indicators. We haven't. We haven't. 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: They were pretty bad. We haven't yet had which is 42 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: coming out of factories. Those the real hard data. We'll 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: get those in the next two or three months and 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: when we have a clear opinion there. I think it's 45 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: pretty clear though that the level of uncertainty now is 46 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: so so elevated about about what's the UK's future trading relationship, 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: what's the regulatory framework going to be. Firms are not 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: going to be doing the capex. There is going to 49 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: be a big hit to capex. Bever agent to see 50 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: how much that the Bank of England expects that. Brian, 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you on the clarity of your 52 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: note from Fitch. The elephant in the room is inflation. 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: In two thousand and seventeen, you've got a nominal GDP 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: and animal spirit for the United Kingdom that tells me 55 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: they can't cut rates help me with real GDP plus big, big, 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: big inflation next year. Does that limit Mark Kearney's optionality? 57 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: I think it does to some extent. I mean we've 58 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: already had fall in the current see we think that 59 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: that's going to push up import prices in the UK. 60 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: We've actually got inflation going slightly above three p m. 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that they can. They can 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: be uh too gung hole on pushing interest rates deep 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: deeply negative with with that scenario. Mark Connie said this himself, 64 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: it's a very difficult situation to find themselves in here 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: post Brexit. Yes, we've got a big demand shop from Capex, 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: we've also got a shock to the UK supply side. 67 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: Growth potential will be impacted by lower FDI, by by 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: lower immigration. So there's a there's a there's a supply 69 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: shop there, and then we've got the currency as well. 70 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: That those latter two things mean more inflation. The trade 71 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: off between output inflation in the UK is going to 72 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: be worse. That makes it more complicated for a central 73 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: bank US to engage in easy in francy. And what 74 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: we just heard there was a clinic that Mark Kearney 75 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: has tattooed to his brain and his experts at the 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: Bank of England. Hey, it's not as simple as saying 77 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Brexit bad, lower raids in fancying, I would go back 78 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: to currency is the definitive and definitive of inflation reaction, right, 79 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean Tom overall, I think when you look at 80 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: central banks. I don't think anything is easy. It's all 81 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: in the nuances. It's all who gets hit how and 82 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: what's the best transmission mechanism on pound? And actually this 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: would be my private big question to Brank Colden. So 84 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: we had a drop more or less in pound, right, 85 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: we recoup some of that, but who does it actually 86 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: help services? Which is what this country is very good at. 87 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: Do you see an increase in services demand as pound 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: files or not? Really? It's not like you're you know, 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: selling engines. Sure, it's funny. And when when we're talking about, 90 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, how does sterling benefit the UK economy, Now 91 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: we're talking about things like the number of foreign students 92 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: that want to come to the UK for a university degree. 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: You know those those are not things that change very 94 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: very quickly, you know, sustainful in the pound over three 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: or four years. Yeah, but you don't get the kind 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: of suddenly we selling loads more cars to Germany. I don't. 97 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's necessarily a huge benefit that And 98 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: in fact, that was one of the things happened after 99 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: the global financial crisis, the falling sterling. We all thought 100 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: we're going to have a big booster from net trade 101 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: didn't didn't really come through, you know, we don't. We 102 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: don't sell that much exchange rate sensitive stuff anymore on 103 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: manufacturing site and brand. When Tom was talking about nuances, 104 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I guess the project that it's not as simple as 105 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: avoiding recession. You also need to see what happens to inflation, 106 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: because if this country doesn't get access to a a single market, 107 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: the goods that the UK will be importing can shoot 108 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: up inflation at a time where actually see a recessionary environment. 109 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: And I think you've got to remember, you know, and 110 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: this is a broader global issue. You know, the trend 111 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: towards globalization to more more more trade, you know, has 112 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: been negative for for prices. That's that's helped bring inflation down. 113 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: If we if we go back to world where we're 114 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: pulling up the drawbridge, we're less open, we're gonna have 115 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: less disinflation coming from abroad, and that's something that bank 116 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: coming and will have to take into account. Definitely. We 117 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: only think we're gonna get a twenty five basis point 118 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: cut today. Brian, let's revisit the chart from the last 119 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: week of June. Bring it up your boding if you would. 120 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: This is the trade chart. The purple line is goods 121 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: and services and it's remarkably level, as Sherman greens And 122 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: would say quiescent. But the white line includes in the 123 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: money flooding into the United Kingdom. The red circle is 124 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: sort of that break where we see a horrific current 125 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: account deficit. Brain, what's a dynamic here? Is this chart 126 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: going to force Mark Kearney's hand? Well, the current account 127 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: deficit is certainly a consideration in you know, what's what's 128 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: going to happen to the economy. Obviously, you know we've 129 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: been spending more than our income and that's been financed 130 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: through through strong FDI inflows, including into UK commercial property. 131 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: Of what what we have to bear in mind is 132 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: that I think those capital inflows were to dry up 133 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: too quickly, then we'd have to close that current account deficit. 134 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: We'd be forced to close that current account deficit that 135 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: much more rapidly. That actually means a worse recession. You 136 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: need a bigger decline in UK domestic demand as as 137 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: the foreign funding draws up. So that's a consideration when 138 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: the central Bank's deciding how far to to to to 139 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: cut interest rates and force the depreciation in Sterling itself 140 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: has helped on that front. It's made assets cheaper. We're 141 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: hearing lots of non European investors now getting interested in 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: some of the UK UK assets because sterling is weaker. 143 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: So that is one sort of way in which a 144 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: week sterling helps. But if we're getting too a sort 145 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: of ongoing weakening of sterling, then that could be counterproductive 146 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: and I think they need to at least think about 147 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: that in what they do today. Your work has been 148 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: brilliant and as I really appreciate the idea of how 149 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: big inflation is going to be for the United Kingdom, 150 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: what this comes down to is a basic idea can 151 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: a bank get out in front of the debate? We 152 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: call that in America the ex post x anti debate. 153 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: Schwarz and Friedman have looked at this. Richard Timberlake within 154 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: the Georgia School and others. Where is Mark Kearney today? 155 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be ex post after he season numbers 156 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: or is he going to really try to be ex 157 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: ante is the city in the street want him to be? 158 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: I think it will be more expost to be honest. 159 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: I think you know that there's very strong arguments as 160 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: to why the UK economy is gonna is gonna weak 161 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: and but the level of level of certainty we have 162 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: about that is very low, and I just don't think 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: you can really be expecting the Bank of England to 164 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: to offset the slowdown that we're gonna We're gonna have 165 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: the you know, the nature of the shop we're worried 166 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: about here is that companies are not going to be 167 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: making the big ticket spending items a large hard to 168 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: reverse spending items. They're just not going to be doing 169 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: that now. Cutting interest rates twenty five basis points, it's 170 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: really not going to make very much difference on that. 171 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: So I don't I don't see how much of policy 172 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: of anything more than really kind of defensive and reactive here. 173 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: You know, what they really want to make sure they 174 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: avoid is that this investment and uncertainty shock transforms itself 175 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: into something worse, which is a rise in interest rates, 176 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: are tightening in credit conditions in the UK. That's where 177 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: they can help, But that is by its nature reactive, 178 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: and I think that's where we're going to be. Brian 179 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: Corton with us here with Fitch. Brian, that yellow circle 180 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: is where you think nominal GDP or the animal spirit 181 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: of the United Kingdom will be that really really limits 182 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: Mark Curney's ability to cut interest rates doesn't and I 183 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: still think they can. They can, they can move lower 184 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: near term, and when we think the the impact of 185 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: Brexit on demand is going to outweigh the impacts of 186 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: Brexit on potential supply in the short term, but I 187 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: think over the medium term, I would say this that 188 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: the output inflation trade off in the UK is going 189 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: to be worse post Brexit, and that probably means UK 190 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: interest rates if anything, I've got to be more volatile 191 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: than before. So we've got rates going down, but as 192 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: immigration flows slowed down, as inward FDI slows down, potentially 193 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: impact on UK product productivity. It's it's not going to be. 194 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be a one way, one way trick 195 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: in terms of just just trying to boost demand. They've 196 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: got to take into account the fact that that supply 197 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: supply growth is not going to be a strong either. 198 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: Right now. I want to bring that banner up. So 199 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: this is I get I give time, keen and a 200 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: plus right currently must will could may wait. This is 201 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: the problem with our central banks, and it also depends 202 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: on whether they follow the markets too closely. We saw 203 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: that with forward guidance. Mrkarni abandoned here. It's a similar 204 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: situation between the dark plots and actually being data dependent. 205 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: I think forward guidance to this point, to be honest, 206 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: would not be particularly sensible because they just don't know 207 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: what the economy is going to do. Uh. You know 208 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: that that that mixes, that mix has changed that you know, 209 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: the models that they had are probably not going to 210 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: work out that world for them. You know, Mark Carnie 211 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: can't avoid the post Brexit slowdown in the UK. You 212 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: can only kind of make it easier, we think just 213 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: about and that's because partly because you get a bit 214 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: of an export boost from weaker sterling, but also a 215 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: bit of expenditure switching. So we think, you know, investment 216 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: is the most important intensive component of demands, so the 217 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,599 Speaker 1: investment weekends, imports will weaken and so you'll get a 218 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: sort of you know, along with the fact that imports 219 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: are going to be more expensive, bit of export we 220 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: call expenditure switching. So you know, for every pound that 221 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: a UK residents spend a little bit more of that 222 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: will be spent on UK goods. So that's probably what 223 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: gets us out of a recession. We actually think if 224 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: you look at domestic demand that's going to go down 225 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: in seventeen in the UK, so demand recession, but not 226 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: a GDP recession.
