Retailers reported a sharp drop in annual sales in February, according to the latest DTS, with some mentioning that wet weather conditions weighed on footfall. Sentiment remains gloomy, hitting investment plans and jobs Key takeaways from the survey 🧵👇
CBI Economics@CBI_Economics

Retail sales volumes fell at a rapid pace in the year to February, extending a run of weakness that dates back to mid-2023. Sales are expected to contract again next month, albeit at a slower rate, according to the CBI’s latest quarterly Distributive Trades Survey.

Bank of England MPC maintained Bank Rate at 4.75% today. The decision was widely expected, but the vote split of 6-3 comes as a bit more of a surprise. The minutes also noted the potential trade-off between weak demand and persistent price pressures going forward

We were delighted so many different organisations joined us in the @COP29_AZ UK Government Pavilion in Baku. Together, we discussed the impact of the government’s clean power mission on public-private engagement in energy policy and reviewed the progress made so far.

It's good to see that UK #GDP growth picked up in May (to 0.4% m/m). The expansion over the month mostly reflected a recovery in sectors like retail and construction, which had been negatively affected by April's wet weather
CBI Economics@CBI_Economics

UK GDP grew 0.4% in May, following no growth in April, and exceeding market expectations of 0.2% growth. On a rolling three-month basis, GDP rose 0.9% in the three months to May, the strongest since January 2022. #GDP
