The UK economy: feeling good but not over the moon

Article Abstract:

The UK economy seems be enjoying the return of a 'feel-good factor' in 1996, with consumer confidence and consumer spending both rising. This trend is due to factors including the low level of interest rates; declining unemployment; improvements in the housing market; and the growth in real personal disposable income. Some economists have voiced fears that a consumer led growth could lead to another consumer boom such as that of the 1980s, but this seems unlikely.

It is also possible that the US will avoid entering into depression.
