Get a grip on inflation
Article Abstract:
Governments are strongly aware that a country's economy can begin to slump rapidly if the rate of inflation begins to rise as economic activity slows down. For this reason, they seek to make small interest rate rises to keep inflation under control before it shows signs of rising. If inflation is anticipated, then prices may be raised to allow for this, leading, with wage inflation, to inflation becoming out of control. It can be very difficult to use interest rates to control inflation, however, as interest rates must be based on levels of inflation anticipated between 18 and 24 months ahead.

Southern bias still holds strong
Article Abstract:
Business parks represent 5.7% of all office space in the UK, with greater predominance in the south east and Midlands, where they account for 7.1% and 6.7% respectively, according to the 'Business Parks Review', published by Grimley in autumn-1996. In the north east of England business parks represent just 2.9% of offices. South east England accounts for over 65% of business parks. The vacancy rate for business parks is 9.3% of stock, on average, which is a little less than the average rate for offices.
