1st February 2010
As students entering AQA BUSS 4 start on their research into the Recent UK Recession, they may like to use this BBC Recession Tracker to get to grips with the latest data on GDP, inflation, interest rates, jobs and house prices. It is updated every time a new piece of data is released and has links to useful related articles like ‘GDP Explained’ and ‘Understanding Inflation’.

- Interest rate freeze continues
- Economy remains in recession
- Jobless rise continues to slow
- Retail sales in surprise fall
- No growth in industrial output
- Growth in manufacturing slows
