  • Brown’s luck has ‘run out’

    October 17, 2005

    Gordon Brown cannot hide behind high oil prices, according to Ernst & Young’s influential ITEM Club. The group — which uses the same economic modelling system as the Treasury — said that the chancellor’s luck has run out and that the poor shape of the British economy is solely down to domestic failings. Chief economic [...]

  • Advisers in all night Refco talks

    October 17, 2005

  • BCC slams Brown’s ‘alarming’ trade figures

    October 14, 2005

    The British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) piled the pressure on Chancellor Gordon Brown yesterday, calling Britain’s manufacturing figures “alarming”.

Manufacturing’s domestic balance fell from 19 per cent in the second quarter to 3 [...]

  • What’s outside your window?

    October 13, 2005

  • JJB Sports declares a new price war

    October 13, 2005

    Sportswear retailer JJB Sports said yesterday it was not afraid to start a price war by adopting a “more aggressive pricing policy”. Like smaller rival JD Sports the retailer has been a victim of the slowdown in consumer spending with like-for-like sales falling 8.8 per cent in the 26 weeks to 31 July. Operating profit [...]

  • OECD gloomy over 2005 growth

    October 13, 2005

    The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) sided with hawks in the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee yesterday, saying there was no need for an interest rate cut despite a flagging economy. It also cut its 2005 forecast for British economic growth from 2.4 to 1.7 per cent in a report released yesterday. [...]
