chalga Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So let's be crystal clear, what do you think of macroeconomic predictions? My opinion is on record and as clear as a mountain stream. Let's have yours. I thought we'd already established that nobody has a clue what's going to happen in a few weeks,let alone years down the line. I'm not the one blasting macroeconomic forecasts one day,then using them to back up my point of view a few days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apelike Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Remind me again why we are leaving a highly successful union and economic powerhouse? Because we had a referendum and the majority vote was to leave the EU. The government at the time also stated they would carry out the result.

Because it is failing, the future is elsewhere, and it's intent on federalisation to mask the failings. Succinct enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 UK could be the fastest growing G7 economy up to 2050, with average annual growth of 1.9% One way to have the fastest growth is to bankrupt the country and then you have a very low starting point...

Fogey Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) The Establishment and the capitalist global elite don't want the UK to leave. The people want to leave. So we won't be leaving. Very nearly half of all THE PEOPLE that voted in the referendum don't want to leave. Only very slightly over half THE PEOPLE who voted in the referendum actually want to leave. THE PEOPLE are pretty evenly split on what they want. ---------- Post added 14-02-2018 at 13:34 ---------- Because it is failing, the future is elsewhere, and it's intent on federalisation to mask the failings. Succinct enough? Failing how? in what way? ---------- Post added 14-02-2018 at 13:37 ---------- #despitebrexit just for magilla, PWC predicts the UK to outperform former EU partners to remain a major world economy. UK could be the fastest growing G7 economy up to 2050, with average annual growth of 1.9% Remaining open to talented workers and developing successful trade links with fast-growing emerging economies will be critical to realising the UK’s long-term growth potential World economy projected to double by 2042, growing at average annual rate of 2.5% to 2050 By 2050, six of the seven world’s largest economies will be emerging markets - led by China India could overtake US as world’s second largest economy, with Indonesia in fourth place EU27’s share of world GDP could fall below 10% by 2050 - France out of the top-10 and Italy out of top 20 The UK’s long-term economic growth could outpace leading EU countries like Germany, France and Italy, even despite some medium-term drag from Brexit, according to new analysis by PwC. PwC’s The World in 2050 report forecasts that by 2050, the UK will have fallen by just one place from 9th to 10th in global economy rankings, measured by purchasing power parity A lot of 'could' in there......

That's fine, but the UK is enjoying excellent growth. Such good growth. More growth than any of the predictions that we would be in recession now, not enjoying the thick end of 2% growth. Fantastic growth. The best growth. You do maths for a living yea? ---------- Post added 14-02-2018 at 14:59 ---------- They don't have a clue when they're inconvenient to his opinion.

At least read to the last post before hitting reply and embarrassing yourself and that way I won;t have to keep pointing out how wrong you are when you're trying to snark me.
