What the EU Thinks of the UK Economy (Cert 18)

  • I think the EU are going to be not too far wrong with their forecasts for the UK.

    But before they start pointing fingers, the entire EuroZone needs to get its act together.

    It's a pretty damning analysis.

    I'd say it's the best time to buy a mortgage from me but then it always is! If the EU piece is correct then I'd probably wait a while before buying a house in the UK.

    I've got an interview to be an old fashionned bank manager at some point soon too. It looks like things are starting to come together for me over here.

    Gen, wishing you GOOD LUCK with the interview.

    Couldn't agree more, I think some EU countries are going to have some huge unemployment expenses due to the ECB painfully dragging their feet over monetary easing :eek:

    I think we will concentrate on the 100's of billions of pounds deficit spending for now :eek: Tell you we will leave it to you to check the travel receipts.
