@AlpeshPaleja I recall Goldman Sachs saying that oil prices were going to exceed something like $250 a barrel... Ah those were the days!

Good to see more economists recognised in the New Year Honours list - Ian McCafferty and Bridget Rosewell both receive CBEs. Two of the many UK economists (including me) who have worked at the CBI during their careers.

Bank of England's latest forecast for UK GDP growth for the medium term remains similar to August

[Alpesh Paleja @AlpeshPaleja]

A pretty grim #CBI_ITS:
❌Falling sentiment
❌Plant & machinery investment plans at their weakest since 2009
❌Export orders down for the first time in two-and-half years
❌Skills shortages biting hard
✅Manufacturing output growth holding up (❌but expectations weak)

Great to be supporting the work of @UK_2070, working to address regional inequality in the U.K. - a massive priority for @CBItweets

[UK2070 Commission @UK_2070]

We’re gearing up for the launch of UK2070 here at the House of Lords. @SirBobKerslake will be soon be kicking off our independent inquiry into regional inequality in the UK.

CBI represents 190k businesses and has had record numbers joining since ref. We speak for a wider range of firms than anyone else - shooting messengers gets country nowhere. #marr https://t.co/vBRibI78cW

#Retail sales growth remained firm in the year to September, according to the latest #CBI_DTS https://t.co/2tg6RV2KzL

[CBI @CBItweets]

As we head into Autumn retailers have seen the run of decent sales figures continue. But underlying conditions are clearly tougher with the sector facing significant challenges; from squeezed household incomes to digital disruption. https://t.co/dSQLTlRiYN
