Recently I wrote my monthly article for South East Business http://www.southeastbusiness.com/print-edition/december-2013 in which I expressed my and indeed the IoD team’s concerns over whether the government was creating the conditions for another potentially damaging housing bubble in an attempt to gain a quick dash for growth.

 

Well I expect that I wasn’t a lone voice on this because shortly afterwards there was an interesting development from the Bank of England  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25135805

Hopefully we will see some measures in the forthcoming statement from the Chancellor to further assist real growth in the economy that’s sustainable.
