Mixed events over the past week...

Enable Independent, IFA’s in Bishop’s Stortford noted that it has been a real mixed set of events in the news over the past week.

News that our first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had died, seems to have torn the Nation apart, creating a camp of those supporters and those opposing the changes she made to England during her time in government between 1979 and 1990.

The IMF has downgraded Global predicted growth for 2013, with the exception of Japan who is expected to see growth of 1.4% this year and 1.6% in 2014. The IMF has predicted shrinkage in the Eurozone of 0.3%, despite a Germany experiencing 0.6% growth.

The latest news is that new figures released show that unemployment has risen to 2.56 million in the UK over the past quarter.

However the consumer price index from the ONS has show that it has remained unchanged at 2.8% in March.

The housing market is also predicted to increase in Southern areas of the UK, with a further rise predicted once the Help to Buy scheme comes into place later this year.
