Consumption drives UK economy
17th March 2015
Our good friend George Buckley, Chief UK economist at Deutsche Bank argues in this interview with the Financial Times that consumption is driving the economic recovery. A useful primer for AS macro students wanting to understand better some of the factors affecting the real level of household spending. Are consumers too dominant in this recovery? If so, it is a familiar tale.
