The CBI, the UK's largest employers' organisation, has warned that the UK economy is deteriorating faster than it previously thought.

..
"A year ago it seemed reasonable to hope that the worst would be over by now. That has not turned out to be the case."
Reality slowly sinking in.....

Is this a CBI apology for their selfish calls for rate cuts, when rate hikes would have been wiser?
Or is this the CBI calling for rate cuts again?
