With the IMF forecasting growth for the UK of around 1.6%, I'm assuming that includes inflation at the official CPI level. Does that mean that for the majority of us who find that 'real' inflation is at 4-9%, the IMF just forecasted a recession with growth of : 1.6% + (official inflation - unofficial inflation) = -1 to -4% growth? Or have I misunderstood something? - Oli Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:14:53 +0100
