 "Bank cuts interest rates and slashes growth forecast

The Bank of England has halved its growth forecast for this year as it cut interest rates to the lowest level for more than 18 months.
The economy is now expected to grow by 0.75% in 2025, the Bank said, down from its previous estimate of 1.5%.
The government has made growing the economy one of its key aims. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told the BBC he was "not satisfied with growth" and the downgraded forecast "just spurs us on".
The new forecast came as the Bank cut interest rates to 4.5% from 4.75%. Its governor, Andrew Bailey, said that rates remain on a downward path.
Mr Bailey said the Bank expected to be able to cut rates further "but we will have to judge meeting by meeting, how far and how fast".
"We live in an uncertain world, and the road ahead will have bumps on it," he added.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Bailey stressed that the Bank needs to remain "gradual and careful" when continuing to cut rates because "there is a lot more uncertainty" and because of the predicted rise in inflation.
While it cut its growth forecast for this year, the Bank upgraded its predictions for both 2026 and 2027. The economy is now expected to grow by 1.5% in both of those years, the Bank said, up from 1.25%.
However, it also predicted that higher energy and water bills would push up inflation "quite sharply" later this year, and warned there were a number of factors that could affect inflation including possible trade tariffs in the US.
Inflation - the rate at which prices rise - is now expected to rise to 3.7% and take until the end of 2027 to fall back to its 2% target. ..." |

Despite this ongoing environment, the Board is pleased to report a notable improvement in a number of internal performance indicators in Q4.
This improvement was led by our Talentis executive search software product ( which saw a significant increase in demand in the final weeks of the year. Going into 2025, we have received migration contracts from executive search firms in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. These migrations will see clients port to Talentis from a number of other products, including both competitor and our own FileFinder systems. These add to an already global userbase for the platform.

"Surprise fall in inflation boosts interest rate cut hopes
Michael Race
Business reporter, BBC News
15 January 2025 4002 Comments
UK inflation unexpectedly dipped in December, raising expectations of an interest rate cut next month.
Prices rose 2.5% in the year to December, down from 2.6% the month before, marking the first fall in inflation for three months.
The drop was driven by hotel prices falling and smaller rises in airfares than usual, but prices continue to rise faster than the Bank of England's target.
UK borrowing costs, which have been rising in recent weeks, fell and the pound rose easing pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves whose Budget policies have been criticised for contributing to the market turmoil.
Government borrowing costs had hit the highest level for 16 years and the pound had dropped to a 14-month low.
After the inflation figure, investors increased bets on the likelihood of an interest rate cut next month and are backing a second cut by the end of this year.
The Bank of England decided to hold interest rates at 4.75% last month, after policymakers said the UK economy had performed worse than expected, with no growth at all between October and December.
Ruth Gregory, deputy chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said the inflation figure "strengthens the case" for a cut to 4.5% in February.
Inflation is much lower than its peak in October 2022 when prices soared, pushing up the cost of living for households and leading to higher interest rates, which has made the cost of loans, credit cards and mortgages, more expensive.
... Debt costs in the UK then fell further after figures in the US revealed core inflation had fallen more than expected, though the headline US inflation figure rose. ..." |
A new low - has nico115 made the same error as I did with this share, but a huge number of more times, when he put up cash at 8p in the raise.
This really is a dog. |

With this addition feature the employers might as well skip the interview and just let the software select the candidate they think best. |
Back in the ditch. Maybe get some more support from nico115 if it goes lower.
Disappointing that there has been no news of contracts from overseas, as the UK market can only be getting worse. |
With the increase NI companies will have to pay, the outlook for DSG looks rather grim I regret to say but on the other hand if they can expand the USA side of the business, then the growth under the Trump government could be the spark that this company needs, and expansion without additional investment should lead to improvements in the bottom line.
I look forward to the next T/S. |
More volume today than we have seen recently. |
Well someone is still nibbling away T101 as you seem to have posted on the thread before buys on a couple of occasions, I am starting to think that you maybe are the buyer that is building a nest egg, for the long term potential, or a takeover by one of the larger concerns. |
It's a long wait for a Spring Tide I grant you T101. Zzzzzzzzz |
Hello T101 good to hear from you, you will notice someone is nibbling away picking up 10k lots.
Like the tide it's fortunes will change. |
Unless there is a takeover, it will be six months before this is likely to move now, as there is no liquidity in this stock.
It has been a dog but will get its day as it is going the right way.
No growth in revenue expected and only when confidence returns will there be a rapid change, as margins are high on the main executive search product.
As nico said though, it is profitable on a day to day basis but still has debts to pay down.
Directors are not adding but can convert loan at 14p so maybe the upside is 14p for now.
Still it is up nicely and hopefully will jog up a bit more soon. |

btw
..has this share been mentioned at all in the financial/share press/media ?
it does look too cheap |

Summary
• Group H1 adjusted operating profit up £0.097m to £0.133m (H1 2023: £0.036m).
• Rolling 12 month adjusted operating profit increases significantly to £0.237m (H1 2023: £0.009m).
• Operational efficiencies increase adjusted EBITDA margin to 25.8% (H1 2023: 20.6%).
• Total revenue of £2.519m (H1 2023: £2.826m), down 11% in a tough recruitment market.
• Recurring revenues represented 91% (H1 2023: 91%) of Group revenue.
• Net cash generated from operating activities dropped slightly to £0.529m (2023: £0.565m).
• Utilisation of bank facility at period end of £0.172m (2023: cash £0.249m) reflecting ongoing repayment of Government support loans (£0.300m annually).
• Board expects to deliver full year results in line with adjusted PTP market expectations.
• Investments made in platforms and efficiency gains over recent years allow the Group to continue to deliver "Excellent" Trustpilot rated services to customers, despite significant reductions in cost base.
Post Period
• On 23 August 2024 the Group raised £0.300m through the issue of loan notes and an additional £0.060m from issuing shares to a new investor.
• As at 31 August 2024 cash was £0.156m.
Commenting on the results and prospects, Giles Fearnley, Non-Executive Chairman, said:
"In my statement in the Annual Report, I said that we had made a solid start to the year. These results confirm that statement with adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit up £0.069m and £0.097m respectively on H1 2023 despite challenging conditions in our key markets. However, we are not immune to the challenges faced by the recruitment sector, and expect to see recurring revenue in H2 below that delivered in H1, driven in large part by significant staff downsizing among our client base. Nevertheless, we are confident of meeting market expectations for adjusted PTP for the year."
