Nationwide House Price Index July
zugzwang replied to rantnrave's topic in House prices and the economy
Recall the OBR projections. Osborne's 'recovery' is predicated on a monstrous run-up in household borrowing, far beyond that accomplished by Brown. -
Neoclassical/New Keynesian economics in a nutshell.

Imagine if the economic fate of the world were entirely dependent on the factional dispositions of the Chinese Communist Party. That really would be something, wouldn't it?

Probably sufficient for Carney to postpone the rate rise he keeps promising to make for yet another year. -

Nr Together Mortgage Was Missold?

Smells like another stealth fiscal stimulus on the way from Osborne. Grrrr, -
If that were true then the UK economy would have been growing at least as fast as the national debt i.e .7 % p.a. not the sub 2% witnessed since 2008. Clearly, much of this additional borrowing has not been added to GDP, being used instead to retire or replace existing debt stock.

We need a bubble to replace the bubble that replaced the bubble before that.

UK goldilocks debt 'recovery' continues. GDP up 0.7% in Q2. North Sea oil + gas over-production largely responsible as manufacturing contracts (again). Rate rise cancelled (again). http://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2015/jul/28/business-live-uk-gdp-growth-figures-osborne-greece-live -
An exact repeat of 2008 and the 1970s: a liquidity shortage in shadow markets that cannot be confined by the central bank(s) and ends up devastating the financial system proper.

Ah the old Keynesian multiplier effect hogwash. Strategic infrastructure investment that 'more than' repays the debt incurred to create it. Otherwise known as bridges to nowhere.

Interest Only V Repayment Mortgage - Fergus Proclaims
zugzwang replied to pipllman's topic in House prices and the economy
Interesting how the rent farmers are unafraid to call it house price inflation and indentify it as a goal to be fostered continuously, whereas the conomists and central bankers refer to it as house price appreciation and dismiss it from their calculations completely. Makes you wonder which is the bigger set of douchebags.
