Realistbear Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 http://www.iii.co.uk/news/?type=afxnews&ar...&action=article LONDON (AFX) - The IMF today warned that inflated house prices, higher energy costs and the effects of immigration are all possible risks to the UK economy. The IMF Executive Board said in a report that these uncertainties require the UK authorities to remain "vigilant." Among the key risks identified were "the degree of overvaluation of house prices, the impact of high energy prices on potential output, the potential effects of immigration on aggregate supply and demand." The IMF also cautioned that a disorderly unwinding of global imbalances could affect the value of sterling.

Justice Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 What you mean labour supply and demand has no effect on wages. Why do you think Blair has been flooding the country with immigrants and remember most immigrants vote labour. IMHO the huge demand for rental property by these would be citizens was the fuel that feed the BTL market at the beginning of the boom and look where that’s got us. I resent becoming a minority in my own country just so Blair and the other thugs can fill their pockets. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
