Productivity

  • It is Bear’s turn to have a moan this week. He is very unhappy about the nation’s low productivity.

  • This is not helped by near-record days lost to strikes and 8.8 million working-age people who are economically inactive.

  • Unsurprisingly, he cannot resist (yet) another swipe at WFH.

  • His main concern though is that the recent hike in interest rates and gilt yields may translate into further falls in capital values.

  • With the market seemingly racked with indecision, both our protagonists are demanding more innovation, commitment and productivity to get the property market out of third gear.

  • Enjoy your Sunday.
