BOE-Monetary Policy Report-November 2019

November 7, 2019--In a nutshell:
Growth has slowed in the UK and abroad
Inflation is a little below our 2% target UK and EU flags
Brexit uncertainty has been high

If growth stays weak, interest rates could fall. If growth recovers as expected, rates may need to rise

The interest rate decision

We set interest rates to influence spending in the economy to ensure inflation (the pace of price rises) returns to our 2% target sustainably.

Low and stable inflation supports jobs and growth.

Over the past decade, our economy has needed interest rates to stay very low.
Recently, the UK economy has slowed as firms' uncertainties about Brexit have become entrenched and growth in the world economy has slowed. UK inflation has fallen back to just below our 2% target. This month we have kept interest rates unchanged.

Pace and Sustainability of Turkey's Economic Recovery is Subject to Reducing Uncertainty and Restoring Investor Confidence, Says World Bank

November 5, 2019--The World Bank issued today its new Turkey Economic Monitor (TEM), which takes stock of recent economic developments and provides the World Bank's analysis of economic prospects in Turkey.

Turkey has emerged from a difficult economic period though the real sector remains deeply affected. Over the past twelve months, narrowing current account imbalances, declining external debt of banks, and global monetary easing have helped reduce external risks. The economy started to recover in early 2019 though challenges persist-investment has declined, prices have remained elevated, and unemployment has increased. These factors have hurt households, and poverty may increase slightly in 2019, before declining gradually over the forecast period.

IMF Regional Economic Outlook: Europe November 2019

November 4, 2019--Economic activity in Europe hasslowed on the back of weakness in trade and manufacturing. For most of the region, the slowdown remains externally driven. However, some signs of softer domesti, demand have started to appear, especially in investment. Services and domestic consumption have been buoyant so far, but their resilience is tightly linked to labor market conditions, which, despite some easing, remain robust.

On balance, Europe's growth is projected to decline from 2.3 percent in 2018 to 1.4 percent in 2019. A modest recovery is forecast for 2020, with growth reaching 1.8 percent, as global trade is expected to pick up and some economies recover from past stresses. This projection, broadly unchanged from the April 2019 World Economic Outlook, masks significant differences between advanced and emerging Europe. Growth in advanced Europe has been revised down by 0.1 percentage point to 1.3 percent in 2019, while growth in emerging Europe has been revised up by 0.5 percentage point to 1.8 percent.

IMF Working Paper-German Bond Yields and Debt Supply: Is There a "Bund Premium"?

November 1, 2019-Summary:
Are Bunds special? This paper estimates the "Bund premium" as the difference in convenience yields between other sovereign safe assets and German government bonds adjusted for sovereign credit risk, liquidity and swap market frictions. A higher premium suggests less substitutability of sovereign bonds.

We document a rise in the "Bund premium" in the post-crisis period. We show that there is a negative relationship of the premium with the relative supply of German sovereign bonds, which is more pronounced for higher maturities and when risk aversion proxied by bond market volatility is high. Going forward, we expect German government debt supply to remain scarce, with important implications for the ECB’s monetary policy strategy.

Climate change: Significant drop in EU emissions in 2018 but further effort needed to reach 2030 target

October 31, 2019--The European Union (EU) cut its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2% in 2018, according to preliminary estimates released today by the European Environment Agency.

However, rising energy consumption continues to hamper progress on the share of energy generated by renewable sources and on energy efficiency. As in previous years, the transport sector remains a particular concern with rising GHG emissions, low uptake of renewable energy sources and insufficient reductions of transport fuels' life-cycle emissions.
