Whether Brexit has affected the economy of United Kingdom



United Kingdom-quarter GDP data two years 2016 released yesterday showed an increase far beyond estimation. With the rate of GDP 0.6% QoQ exceeded expectations of 0.4%, it is clear that the United Kingdom referendum staged Brexit in terakselerasi economic conditions. But, now, a month after the referendum States that more than some people want out of the EU, whether the United Kingdom economy is still primed, or are already starting to hit?

Ahead of the BoE meeting next week, it is worth re-evaluating a few economic reports the latest United Kingdom.

1. The manufacturing sector and services
A package of business survey results report the Markit/CIPS held last week indicated that the United Kingdom's manufacturing and services sectors are experiencing the fastest decline since the year 2009, due to the shock caused by the results of the referendum on 23 June. PMI Manufacturing collapsed to 49.1 from 52.1 previously, whereas PMI services slumped to 29.5 from previous 52.3. It is clear that business sentiment in the country are based in London that was devastated.

The business sentiment in turn will be reflected in the decisions of the business in the aggregate economy imposes potentially United Kingdom, particularly in the sector of employment.

2. Consumer Sentiment
On the other hand, the consumer confidence index in July, according to the YouGov survey results and the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) "next →" to the lowest level in three years at 106.6. The community is mainly worried about what will happen to the value of their property after being reduced due to the increasing difficulty for people who want to move from continental Europe to the United Kingdom.

"If the concern of the owners will price their property to become a reality, then there could be very serious consequences for the housing sector as well as the economy in General," said CEBR Managing Director, Scott Corfe.

Economists initially hoping consumer spending could provide a way for the United Kingdom to avoid recession. However, retail sales turned out to be no less of a sharp fall after the referendum, as shown by the CBI Distributive Trades survey results the Survey yesterday. The index recorded the survey results of the activities of sales in the company's retail and wholesale 150 United Kingdom was experiencing, much lower than expectations 1 numbers the previous index 4.


3. The construction sector
In the construction sector, activity of any observed slowing down post Brexit. A survey held by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) predicts growth in construction activity will only reach 1% in the next 12 months, down from a previous estimate of 2.8%.

Meanwhile, the property market was the hardest hit sector since the referendum of 23 June Brexit. In addition to the income projection jeleknya ahead, stocks in this sector shrank and some mutual funds related had to disuspensi because of the hectic action selling.

4. Employment
The number one of the consequences of poor sentiment in the third sector is that companies trim their work force recruitment plans. Up to now, at least the construction companies and retail has indicated would act that way.

It's not just a new recruitment, salaries for employees suffered any threatened jammed. A survey from a human resources company XperHR and reviewed Reuters Thursday showed that the median salary in the quarter II/2016 only rose 1.8%, whereas over the last two years have been at 2% or more.

Sheila Attwood has from XperHR says, "it remains to be seen how the uncertainty surrounding the impact of options Brexit imposes on the salary, but we likely will see salaries remain low for months to come."

Conclusion
From the reports, it can be concluded that the results of the referendum of the current Brexit are primarily promoted business sentiment, both from the side of the producers as well as consumers. With poor expectations of market participants then the projected course of the economy in the future will be a drag, but the real effect on actual economic Brexit United Kingdom yet to be seen.

With a summary of the case, then unclear also whether the Bank of England's Policy Committee next week will consider an economy already requires the "buffer" or not. Though analysts widely mengekspektasikan BoE to slash interest rates at a meeting on 4 August, but the Regent Office still refuses commitment.

The Governor Mark "untrusted boyfriend" Carney has indeed been declared its readiness to trim interest rates or other policies in order to cope with running economic slowdown, but in the actual current slowdown has yet to happen (or at least, the evidence of impending slowdown has yet to appear). Martin Weale, a member of Netanyahu's MPC in BoE, in one interview last weekend says that the economy is worse than the conjecture, but he still refused to answer questions about when he thought (if needed) the stimulus will start took place.

The FOMC Doesn't Raise Interest Rates In July, The Dollar Widened

Netanyahu's Belief Is Not Enough For The FED
After the FOMC yesterday, the FED said that it was already not too worrisome possibility of shaking against the US economy, and pointed out that a rise in interest rates in September were still possible.

"Short-term risks to the economic outlook has faded," said policy makers of The Fed. However, an increase in the "mood" of the central bank that apparently is not enough to establish the expectations will increase interest rates soon.

The dollar index, which measures the strength of the US dollar against six major currencies, stood at 96,591, below the high level 97,530 on the range last night. Earlier this week, the dollar index climbed as high as 97,569, the highest since March.

Euro surges to form a 1 percent against the U.S. dollar, from low level night became 1.0960 1.0725 this morning. Meanwhile against the Yen, the dollar slipped 0.3 percent to 104.91 yen.


Most Likely December
"If the US economy continues to grow despite the high increase in the problems and gaps in the labour market will fade, and we estimate that the Fed will still endeavour to increase interest rates once more before the end of the year especially in December," said Rabobank strategist cited by Reuters.

"However, the rise in interest rates in December we mean is to record, the risks taken into account by the FOMC not go up substantially in the year 2016," continued the Rabobank.
