“¢ A significant drop in activity in Q1 looks to have been largely an aberration.
“¢ That was driven by poor weather.
“¢ The likely overall picture is of an economy expanding around or a little above its potential rate of growth.
“¢ The balance of evidence suggests that the growth path remains broadly intact.
“¢ Latest wage data does not signal strongly that pay growth will make the next step to establish itself in 3% territory.
“¢ Need a little more confirmation at each stage that the supply side is evolving as per forecast.
“¢ Brexit creates very material uncertainties for the UK economy.
