A broken measuring rod
Article Abstract:
The United Kingdom Office for National Statistics (ONS) plans changes to national accounts which could mean lower estimates for economic growth, at 2.2% annually since 1994 rather than 2.7%. European accounting standards are also to be adopted, and investment will include new categories such as spending on milking cattle and computer software. The revisions may also show economic growth as having peaked earlier than previous estimates and this could affect interest rate policy, leading to a more rapid drop in interest rates.
