The other day a deal was finally struck on how to fund Greece for the next few years after many late night meetings and circular discussions. Although the deal may allow Greece to carry on for now, it seems likely that it will continue missing the targets set by the EU/ECB/IMF Troika, meaning a new [...]Citigroup sentences to Europe to faster economic death

The closer you read Willem Buiter's imperial uber-blick of the world economy, the more astonishing it becomes. Citigroup's end of year forecast – Prospects for Economies and Financial Markets in 2013 and Beyond – is in essence a celebration of American revival and ascendancy. It sentences Europe to slow economic death. The growth gap in [...]David Cameron is right and brave to reject statutory regulation by the usual suspects
Updated: 2012-11-29 15:20:43David Cameron is brave to reject Lord Justice Leveson's call for a statutory instrument to enforce press self-regulation. He is also right to have "serious misgivings" over the impact this would have on freedom of speech. Two points need to be made about Lord Justice Leveson's findings. Firstly, it is a nonsense to say that [...]Things worth reading: 29th November 2012

We learn today that the number of millionaires in the country halved after Gordon Brown hiked the top rate of income tax up to 50pc in 2010's budget. Over 16,000 made at least a million a year in 2009-10. That number fell to 6,000 after the tax was introduced. Even last year the total number [...]Things worth reading: 28th November 2012

What with the Mark Carney appointment, last night's late breaking news on a deal to allow the release of further bailout funds for Greece got somewhat lost in the wash. "Tomorrow, a new day starts for all Greeks," the Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras apparently told reporters. Somehow I doubt it.

Whenever governments and/or their national statistical offices start fiddling around with the way inflation is measured or targeted it should send out the strongest possible message of alarm, so we should all be taking a lot more interest in the consultation recently announced by Britain's Office for National Statistics into the Retail Price Index.

Speculation is rife over the identity of the Gang of Eight. Revelations in this morning's Telegraph that Conservative backbenchers enjoyed discreet dinners with UKIP chairman Stuart Wheeler have opened up a new front in the battle between the parties.
