The lockdown is coming to an end. I am wondering if there is positive economic news on the way? Today the £ is up based on the success of the vaccines programme. When will growth rebound? The government have minimised the impact on jobs through the furlough scheme and inflation has stayed low. When we unlock how long will it take to recover? Will the recovery be slower as the effects of the Brexit deal start to hit the economy. With only a deal on goods which is complicated by rules of origin and lots of paperwork, firms are finding the new trading relationship tough. Financial markets have also lost access to EU markets so a slow down in out biggest sector is likely to follow. So as we move out of lockdown will the economy rebound or will it be a long slow recovery? Post you views?
