The UK economy continued to display mixed signals, with improved business activity but lingering weaknesses. The composite Purchasing Managers' Index (“PMI”) hit a six-month high of 52 in March, led by a rebound in services (53.9), though manufacturing slumped to an 18-month low (44.6). Bank of England (“BoE”) Governor Andrew Bailey emphasised trade and artificial intelligence (“AI”) as key to future growth but warned of weak productivity. Inflation fell more than expected to 2.8% in February, though services inflation remained high at 5%. Consumers are cutting spending amid economic uncertainty, while small businesses plan to pass Chancellor Rachel Reeves' tax hikes onto customers. The Confederation of British Industry (“CBI”) reported a sharp drop in retail sales, highlighting weak consumer demand.

Last week, key economic updates highlighted mixed signals for the UK. Bank of England (“BoE”) Deputy Governor Clare Lombardelli expressed caution over wage growth trends, warning that a slowdown in wage disinflation might necessitate careful rate cut strategies. BoE official Swati Dhingra noted the UK is no longer an inflation outlier but stressed the difficulty of accurate inflation forecasting due to unreliable data. The Confederation of British Industry (“CBI”) painted a sombre picture, with surveys showing weakening sentiment in the retail and services sectors. Job cuts loom as firms grapple with tax hikes, while higher wages ahead of the holidays offer a short-term boost in hiring for sectors such as retail and hospitality. Consumer confidence waned slightly after the budget, reflecting concerns over economic stability. Despite reassurances about the financial system's resilience, the BoE's financial stability report flagged heightened global risks, including geopolitical tensions and government debt vulnerabilities. This backdrop underscores challenges ahead for growth and inflation.Stocks featured:JD Sports, Kingfisher and Melrose IndustriesTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Guest post by Dominic Ashley-Timms and Laura Ashley-Timms, who are the CEO and COO of performance consultancy Notion. The twenty-first century has given us a world of unprecedented opportunities. However, the pace of change, the volume of information, the speed with which we must adapt and the escalating array of technologies we're dealing with can be overwhelming. Management trends Consequently, as managers and leaders, many of us are overloaded. Every day feels like a firefight, having to constantly reprioritise. Some of this results from companies removing expensive layers of management. This dismantling of formal hierarchies has saved costs, but it's also reduced clarity around individual roles and resulted in many of us taking on additional responsibilities. Here are 3 trends we expect to see in 2024 that will revolutionise management: 1. Mass investment in improving management The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) report, Better Management, revealed that a shocking 82% of managers are accidental, meaning that most UK managers are unleashed on teams without receiving ANY formal training to be competent in their new role. Without being fully equipped to handle the people side of their new responsibilities, these accidental managers can have a disastrous impact on employee engagement, productivity, performance and retention. It's no wonder then that 31% of managers and 28% of workers have left a job to get away from a poor relationship with their manager. In their report Great Job, the UK's Confederation of British Industry (CBI) calculated that an improvement of just 7% in the quality of management would unlock an additional 110 billion to the UK economy. If we're to move from the bottom of the G7 league for productivity measures and supercharge organisational performance, then 2024 needs to be the year of the manager, and massive investment is needed in new skills development. 2. A laser-focus on enhancing management communication skills Effective communication skills couldn't be more important for the working world in 2024. The previous year has seen the explosion of remote working practices, requiring organisations to explore more innovative ways of maintaining team cohesion and collaboration via video screens rather than in person. We also have five different generations in the workforce, each with its own expectations and what's most important to them in their career choices and values. Serving the needs of these different generations is challenging organisations and their leadership, training and HR practices. These major shifts in the modern workplace coupled with the use of new tools for collaboration necessitate that managers hone their communication skills. The key for managers to thrive in the future world of work is to learn how to become alert to opportunities where asking more powerful questions might drive better outcomes from a conversation with a team member. Adopting the behaviours that support the asking of more powerful questions at the heart of an operation can also underpin a culture that's more collaborative, inclusive and innovative with measurable improvements in engagement, productivity and performance. 3. Moving from Command-and-control to Enquiry-led For managers to strengthen their communication skills and learn how to ask better questions in 2024, a fundamental shift in management practice will be required. The prevailing management style in most organisations today is still best described as command-and-control. The leadership determines the strategy and issues directives, which are cascaded through various layers of management who direct the workforce to carry them out. However, this approach of fixing, firefighting and 'telling' employees how to solve the problems they bring you, inadvertently robs team members of a learning opportunity had they been encouraged to do the thinking themselves. Stemming the development of their independent problem-solving skills. You've also taken time o...

Last week saw the Bank of England ("BOE") stand firm on its key rate, leaving interest rates unchanged at 5.25% and dismissing talks of imminent rate cuts, a day after the Federal Reserve signalled its intention to cut rates in 2024. BOE Governor Andrew Bailey emphasised the ongoing fight against inflation, challenging investors who had increasingly bet on rate cuts. Despite BOE warnings, traders remained unfazed, forecasting interest rates of 4% by the end of the next year, as reported by The Times.Contrary to market expectations, The Times also reported that the Confederation of British Industry (“CBI”) predicts that the BOE will not cut interest rates until 2026 due to persistently high inflation. The CBI outlook suggests that the base rate will stay at 5.25% for at least two more years, impacting consumer spending and business investment. The CBI's growth forecast of 0.8% in the UK for the coming year underscores concerns about the prolonged impact of elevated interest rates on the economy...Stocks featured:Currys, Chemring Group and EntainTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Adeife Onwuzulike, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at Euromonitor International, knows the true value of working in an inclusive and diverse company. She recently joined Euromonitor from The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) - where she was also Head of Diversity and Inclusion. At the CBI Adeife worked on embedding DEI into the business culture and strategy and created and managed a number of employee networks and worked with their clients on their DEI journey. She worked tirelessly to ensure that the organization was not only diverse but also a place where all employees felt like they can be their true authentic selves. After almost three years of a global pandemic and political and racial tensions increasing across the globe, issues around DEI have become even more critical for luxury and fashion businesses to address than ever before. The long list of new diversity and inclusion recruits witnessed across the luxury and fashion sector over the last 12 months shows that the needle is indeed moving. However, there is still a long way to go. In this podcast Adeife Onwuzulike shares her expertise and knowledge in this area with Marguerite LeRolland, Head of Fashion and Fflur Robert, Head of Luxury at Euromonitor International and addresses questions around what's here now and what's to come next.

Katy Balls speaks to Kate Andrews and Tony Danker, the director general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), about the Chancellor's Mais lecture on Thursday, where he reaffirmed his belief in 'sustainably' cutting taxes.

"The UK still sees 20% of its total exports finding their way to the EU despite Brexit. The rise in cases of Covid-19 that have led to fears of a new wave with lockdowns already seen in some EU states is likely to have a knock-on effect on the UK economy. While the country is coping well following the introduction of booster jabs, there may very well be economic fallout even if there is no significant spike in cases. The bosses' union, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), is holding its annual conference, with the leaders of both main political parties making speeches. Prime Minister Boris Johnson fluffed his lines, making a shambolic speech. He lost his place and made a rambling, almost embarrassing attempt to ad-lib, at one point commenting on a trip to a children's theme park. Sir Keir Starmer managed to stay far more on point, calling for a complete economic reset following Brexit and the Pandemic. He promised that a future Labour Government would ensure that young people are retrained to be ready to be able to find employment as the economy changes its basic identity.

In this week's Macro Matters, our final podcast of 2020, we're joined by Felicity Burch, Director of Innovation and Digital at the CBI and James McCann, Senior Economist at ASI. What does the future hold for business? How important is innovation and why does research matter for economists and investors alike?

In a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion, we consider why innovation matters for business, the "silver-lining" effect that Covid has had in incentivising firms to innovate, and the challenge companies face to keep up the momentum as the world returns to something closer to ‘normal’ in 2021. In part 2, we welcome back James McCann from the ASI Research Institute to discuss why innovation is a key factor for the macroeconomic outlook and how research can allow investors to identify the winners and losers of digital innovation.

Sir Michael Rake, President of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) shares his thoughts on the role of the United Kingdom's top business lobby in an environment looking for sustainable investment and growth.

The key speakers in this session are Richard Parkinson of Pinsent Masons LLP, Fran Eccles-Bech of Manchester Law Society, Joy Kingsley of Pannone LLP, and Graeme Jump of Mace and Jones. As employers restrict access to Facebook and other social media sites during regular working hours, email is still the number one time waster, according to UKFast's legal industry round table. Supporting the findings of the Confederation of the British Industry (CBI), personal email and internet use were identified by the panel as replacing sick days as the biggest danger to workplace productivity. Despite companies restricting the use of numerous sites to lunchtimes, finding a balance between acting like a Big Brother-style organisation and preventing essential time wasting is still a key issue. As 1 in 20 of all divorce petitions filed in England and Wales are now issued online, law firms also must prepare themselves to trade online as well as promote their business through their website. According to the expert panel, the legal community must inspire trust to encourage consumers to do this.
