UK manufacturing output falls to nine-month low


UK manufacturing activity fell to a nine-month low in November as new orders fell, according to a survey released on Monday.

Survey respondents linked declines in output and new orders to delayed investment decisions, cutbacks to new projects due to domestic market uncertainty and rising geopolitical tensions. Some firms also said announcements in the UK Budget had led to budgets being re-appraised at manufacturers and their clients alike.

Rob Dobson, director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: "Conditions in the UK manufacturing sector deteriorated again in November. The headline PMI fell to a nine-month low as concerns surrounding the economic outlook, high costs and weak demand led to lower output, falling orders and cutbacks to purchasing, jobs and inventory holdings.

"The export climate also remained bleak, as weaker demand from the US, China and EU led to a further drop in new export business. While companies of all sizes are experiencing a downturn, small companies are the hardest hit, reporting especially marked drops in output, new orders and new export business.

Trump Threatens BRICS Countries With 100% Tariffs If They Ditch The Dollar

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has threatened BRICS nations with 100% tariffs if they decide to challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance in the global economy. BRICS is an acronym denoting the emerging national economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

“The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER.,” Trump wrote in a social media post early Sunday.

“We require a commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency nor back any other currency to replace the mighty U.S. dollar, or they will face 100 per cent tariffs and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. economy. They can go find another ‘sucker!’ There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US dollar in international trade, and any country that tries should wave goodbye to America,” the president-elect said.

‘Losing faith’: Just one in four bosses has confidence in government


Just one in four bosses has confidence in the government to deliver economic growth, in a sign firms are “losing faith” in ministers’ strategy.

A London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) snap poll found 81 per cent of business leaders said they were not confident the government will address firms’ concerns.

While 77 per cent of the 200 bosses and LCCI members surveyed revealed they were not confident the government will deliver on its commitment to economic growth.

Chief executive Karim Fatehi said: “This snap survey has confirmed our worst fears; the business community views the combined package of increased employer NICs, cuts to business rates relief and the employment rights bill as a serious threat to their operations.

“It also shows that London businesses are fast losing faith in the government’s economic growth strategy.
