CITY VIEWS: DO YOU SEE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THE RECESSION IS OVER?
ROB DUTSON OEE CONSULTING
“I do think we are coming to the end of the recession. The consultancy market is increasing, the housing market is improving and general spending seems to be going up. These things together tell me things are getting better. That and high hopes!”
MARK MYERS ICAP ELECTRONIC BROKING
“I think there are some soft indications that we may be nearing the end of the recession. But I don’t think it will happen overnight. The recovery will be slow, and the impact of the financial crisis will take a while to work itself through the system.”
ADAM WOOLHOUSE TS ASSOCIATES
“I think the financial sector is going to lead us out of the recession. It was the first sector to be hit, but we’ve seen profitability return lately. Obviously there are sectors which are lagging and will continue to make cuts and work through their problems.”
