 According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. This is a major problem. The top
10 per cent of earners have suffered the biggest drop in real terms – their
income has crashed nine per cent since the recession – while those in the
lowest tenth are down 2.4 per cent, helped by the fact that benefits went up
faster than wages.
 The cost of borrowing is going up, the returns to saving are still going down.
This is primarily the result of the interaction of all of the new capital and
liquidity rules affecting the financial system. The average new time deposit
paid just 1.58 per cent last month, down from around two per cent a year
earlier and three per cent in late 2011. Savers are still being hammered
 The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reveal
that the UK’s financial services exports have fallen a disastrous 20 per cent
since their pre-crisis peak – by contrast, America’s have risen steadily, as noted
by Anthony Browne of the British Bankers’Association. They need to export
more invisibles to pay for imports of goods.
 The UK economy starts 2013 after one of the longest
periods of economic stagnation on record. GDP has
been flat for the past two years, and real GDP is still
way below the 2008 peak.
 The Bank of England predict very modest growth for
2013, with the potential for a fall in output before the
economy recovers towards the end of 2013.
 Investment both public and private have been hard
hit by the recession. Falling bank lending costs may
be insufficient to boost investment in 2013.
