The Spectator Dashboard: UK Economic Data

Great steps have been made in open data in the last few years. Most figures for the UK economy can be found online and the creation of the Office for Budget Responsibility means that official forecasts, too, are now available. But they have not, so far, been expressed in a way that’s easy to understand. So The Spectator has come up with this dashboard, which shows historic and projected data for the main economic indicators. This is a work in progress, so please bear with us as we get through it. And please do leave any comments below.

1.Employment

2. Bank of England base rates
3. Mortgage rates (at various loan-to-value rates)
4. Inflation (CPI and RPI pch YoY)
5. Gross Domestic Product
6. Annual change in GDP
7. Disposable income
8. Households’ debt-to-income ratio
9. Net immigration

And some other graphs that we at the Spectator find interesting:-
