Commenting on the preliminary estimates for GDP in the fourth quarter of 2011, published today by the ONS, David Kern, Chief Economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:
“The first estimates for growth in the fourth quarter of 2011 are disappointing, and worse than many anticipated. However, it is important to bear in mind that preliminary numbers are often revised.

MPC should increase QE by £50bn in February 
Commenting on the MPC minutes for January 2012, published today by the Bank of England, David Kern, Chief Economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:

Following the latest GDP figures showing the economy shrank at the end of 2011, there is a strong case for the MPC to increase QE to £325bn at its next meeting.
