UK trade intensity (exports plus imports divided by GDP) has not recovered in line with other G7 countries since the pandemic. We continue to expect that Brexit will reduce the UK’s potential GDP by 4% in the long run by lowering the trade intensity of the economy. #Budget2024

Greek’s economic rebound in (painful) context, @valentinaromei The country is indeed among the best recent performers in the eurozone, but it has also become the poorest. ft.com/content/ba7e18… vía @FT
Italy really just has to be the most beautiful country on earth.
🚨🗺️📊Calling all UK local data nerds… After more than a year of development, we’ve just launched #ExploreLocalStatistics, a brand new way to explore 57 datasets from across government right down to a local authority level! …lore-local-statistics.beta.ons.gov.uk 🧵1/5
China's exports to Kyrgyzstan are up 600% since Russia invaded Ukraine (top left). Exports to Kazakhstan are up 120% (top right), Belarus 200% (bottom left) and Uzbekistan 140% (bottom right). China isn't some neutral party. All this stuff likely goes to Russia and helps Putin...
Despite what he said Mr Hunt turns out to be rather reliant on higher immigration offsetting lower labour force participation. OBR have revised down labour participation rate, cutting growth. This is offset by higher immigration, raising growth.
Italy: Europe’s unlikely outperformer, by @valentinaromei The unusually strong performance is largely explained by the “super bonus”, the generous tax relief on home improvements introduced in 2020. ft.com/content/378ab9… @FT
Since 2010 the UK has had the weakest GDP per capita, the lowest wage growth, and among the highest unemployment rates of any period of government since WWII. Striking chart from the @resfoundation this morning 👇
Absolutely crucial chart to understand where we are politically as well as economically. In all likelihood households will be worse off on average at the next election than they were at the last election. That is really not a recipe for a happy electorate
Inflation is falling but prices have grown faster than incomes since 2019–20, meaning disposable income will still be 1% lower in 2024–25. On current forecasts it will take until 2025–26 for households’ purchasing power to return to its level at the end of the last parliament.
OBR says data so far is consistent with its Brexit assumptions - 15% fall in trade, and 4% fall in productivity/GDP, over long run - compared to no-Brexit counterfactual. Continued slow puncture..
"That implies £6bn of tax revenue we're highly unlikely to get and that just flatters the fiscal numbers that the Chancellor produces every year and, frankly, makes a bit of a nonsense of them." Why have fuel duties been frozen for the last 14 years? @PJTheEconomist explains
Also: the main reason the OBR's forecasts for medium-term borrowing turn out wrong is that it underestimates the level of future spending (green and grey bars). The government tells the OBR how much it will spend, then ends up spending more. Hard to blame the OBR for that!
This shows the same on public borrowing forecasts. The OBR (purple) has tended to be more accurate than externals (yellow) over one year, though less so over longer forecast horizons. 18/25
@CeeMacBee I wondered when McBride of Tuftonstein would turn up Still using value uncorrected for inflation rather than volumes. The article is clear so are those quoted in it as well small UK exporters who have been screaming about the added costs with no one listening #BrexitDisaster
The fiscal rule, the "headroom", is whether the national debt is forecast to be falling between March 2028 and March 2029. Whether we are meeting this daft rule by £10bn or missing it by £10bn is neither here nor there and should not be determining fiscal policy
"It's ludicrous that we should be thinking about whether we will or won't cut taxes [...] off the back of some very uncertain forecasts about what might or might not be happening five years hence." 📺 @PJTheEconomist on the gaming of fiscal rules: ifs.org.uk/articles/gamin…

This picture may play a role in Villeroy's comments. Share of disinflating basket items is back to pre-pandemic norms in France, while share of high inflation items is receding fairly quickly.
Red Sea crisis pushes up delivery times for European manufacturers—Many economists have raised concerns over the impact on the global inflation outlook from the crisis in the Red Sea. ft.com/content/6c1145… @FT @valentinaromei
Where does the phrase “upper case” and “lower case” come from for big/small letters? It’s a printers’ thing. (See this pic — am at the Tipoteca museum outside Venice.)
[Chart is a rough and ready joining of historic births data here ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati… with the underlying data from today's population projections here ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati… Not perfect at the join but pretty sure this picture is basically what they're saying.]
Something very odd about today's ONS population projections...they assume not only that fertility doesn't continue it's recent fall, but that it recovers sharply and stabilises. Take with a very large pinch of salt..
