1 Inflation Report November 2014 Prospects for inflation
2 Table 5.A Conditioning path for Bank Rate implied by forward market interest rates (a) (a)The data are fifteen working day averages of one-day forward rates to 5 November 2014 and 6 August 2014 respectively. The curve is based on overnight index swap rates. (b)November figure for 2014 Q4 is an average of realised spot rates to 5 November 2014, and forward rates thereafter.
3 Chart 5.1 GDP projection based on market interest rate expectations and £375 billion purchased assets The fan chart depicts the probability of various outcomes for GDP growth. It has been conditioned on the assumption that the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period. To the left of the vertical dashed line, the distribution reflects the likelihood of revisions to the data over the past; to the right, it reflects uncertainty over the evolution of GDP growth in the future. If economic circumstances identical to today’s were to prevail on 100 occasions, the MPC’s best collective judgement is that the mature estimate of GDP growth would lie within the darkest central band on only 30 of those occasions. The fan chart is constructed so that outturns are also expected to lie within each pair of the lighter green areas on 30 occasions. In any particular quarter of the forecast period, GDP growth is therefore expected to lie somewhere within the fan on 90 out of 100 occasions. And on the remaining 10 out of 100 occasions GDP growth can fall anywhere outside the green area of the fan chart. Over the forecast period, this has been depicted by the light grey background. See the box on page 39 of the November 2007 Inflation Report for a fuller description of the fan chart and what it represents.
4 Chart 5.2 Projected probabilities of GDP growth in 2016 Q4 (central 90% of the distribution) (a) (a)Chart 5.2 represents the cross-section of the GDP growth fan chart in 2016 Q4 for the market interest rate projection. It has been conditioned on the assumption that the stock of purchased assets remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period. The coloured bands in Chart 5.2 have a similar interpretation to those on the fan charts. Like the fan charts, they portray the central 90% of the probability distribution. The grey outline represents the corresponding cross-section of the August 2014 Inflation Report fan chart, which was conditioned on market interest rates and the same assumption about the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves. (b)Average probability within each band; the figures on the y-axis indicate the probability of growth being within ±0.05 percentage points of any given growth rate, specified to one decimal place.
5 Chart 5.3 CPI inflation projection based on market interest rate expectations and £375 billion purchased assets Chart 5.4 CPI inflation projection in August based on market interest rate expectations and £375 billion purchased assets Charts 5.3 and 5.4 depict the probability of various outcomes for CPI inflation in the future. They have been conditioned on the assumption that the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period. If economic circumstances identical to today’s were to prevail on 100 occasions, the MPC’s best collective judgement is that inflation in any particular quarter would lie within the darkest central band on only 30 of those occasions. The fan charts are constructed so that outturns of inflation are also expected to lie within each pair of the lighter red areas on 30 occasions. In any particular quarter of the forecast period, inflation is therefore expected to lie somewhere within the fans on 90 out of 100 occasions. And on the remaining 10 out of 100 occasions inflation can fall anywhere outside the red area of the fan chart. Over the forecast period, this has been depicted by the light grey background. See the box on pages 48–49 of the May 2002 Inflation Report for a fuller description of the fan chart and what it represents.
6 Chart 5.5 Projected probabilities of CPI inflation in 2016 Q4 (central 90% of the distribution) (a) (a)Chart 5.5 represents the cross-section of the CPI inflation fan chart in 2016 Q4 for the market interest rate projection. It has been conditioned on the assumption that the stock of purchased assets remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period. The coloured bands in Chart 5.5 have a similar interpretation to those on the fan charts. Like the fan charts, they portray the central 90% of the probability distribution. The grey outline represents the corresponding cross-section of the August 2014 Inflation Report fan chart, which was conditioned on market interest rates and the same assumption about the stock of purchased assets. (b)Average probability within each band; the figures on the y-axis indicate the probability of inflation being within ±0.05 percentage points of any given inflation rate, specified to one decimal place.
7 Chart 5.6 Euro-area growth (a) Sources: Eurostat and Bank calculations. (a)Calendar-year growth rates. Chained-volume measure. Projections were only available to 2016 at the time of the August Report.
8 Table 5.B MPC key judgements (a)(b) Sources: Bank of England, BDRC Continental SME Finance Monitor, Bloomberg, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, used with permission, British Household Panel Survey, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, Eurostat, IMF World Economic Outlook (WEO), ONS, US Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bank calculations. (a)The MPC’s projections for GDP growth, CPI inflation and unemployment (as presented in the fan charts) are underpinned by four key judgements. The mapping from the key judgements to individual variables is not precise, but the profiles in the table should be viewed as broadly consistent with the MPC’s key judgements. (b)Figures show calendar-year growth rates unless otherwise stated. Figures in parentheses show the corresponding projections in the August 2014 Inflation Report, which were only available to 2016. (c)Chained-volume measure. Constructed using real GDP growth rates of 143 countries weighted according to their shares in UK exports. (d)Chained-volume measure. Constructed using real GDP growth rates of 144 countries weighted according to their shares in world GDP using the IMF’s purchasing power parity (PPP) weights. This was not a key judgement variable at the time of the August Report, so no corresponding projections are shown. (e)Chained-volume measure. (f)Chained-volume measure. (g)Level in Q4. Percentage point spread over reference rates. Based on a weighted average of household and corporate loan and deposit spreads over appropriate risk-free rates. Indexed to equal zero in 2007 Q3. (h)Based on the weighted average of spreads for households and large companies over 2003 and 2004 relative to the level in 2007 Q3. Data used to construct the SME spread are not available for that period. The period is chosen as broadly representative of one where spreads were neither unusually tight nor unusually loose. (i)Calendar-year average. Percentage of total available household resources. (j)Due to revisions following the 2014 Blue Book (see the box on pages 18–19), the levels for these series are not directly comparable between August and November. (k)Calendar-year average. Chained-volume business investment as a percentage of GDP. (l)GDP per hour worked. GDP at market prices is based on the mode of the MPC’s backcast. (m)Level in Q4. Percentage of the 16+ population. Due to revisions following the incorporation of 2011 Census estimates of the UK population (see the box on page 27), the figures for August and November are not directly comparable. (n)Level in Q4. Average weekly hours worked, in main job and second job. Due to revisions following the incorporation of 2011 Census estimates of the UK population (see the box on page 27), the figures for August and November are not directly comparable. (o)Four-quarter inflation rate in Q4. Excludes the impact of missing trader intra-community fraud. (p)Four-quarter growth in unit labour costs in Q4. Whole-economy total labour costs divided by GDP at market prices, based on the mode of the MPC’s GDP backcast. Total labour costs comprise compensation of employees and the labour share multiplied by mixed income. The key judgement variable in the August Report was unit wage costs, so the August projections shown here are different to those shown in that Report.
9 Table 5.C Monitoring risks to the Committee’s key judgements
10 Chart 5.7 Household saving ratio (a) Sources: ONS and Bank calculations. (a)Calendar-year average. Percentage of total available household resources. Due to methodological changes in the 2014 Blue Book (see the box on pages 18–19), the level of the saving ratio is not directly comparable in the August and November Reports. Projections were only available to 2016 in the August Report.
11 Chart 5.8 Productivity growth (a) Sources: ONS and Bank calculations. (a)GDP per hour worked. GDP is at market prices and projections are based on the mode of the MPC’s backcast. Projections were only available to 2016 at the time of the August Report.
12 Table 5.D Indicative projections consistent with the MPC’s modal projections (a) (a)These projections are produced by Bank staff for the MPC to be consistent with the MPC’s modal projections for GDP growth, CPI inflation and unemployment. Figures show calendar-year growth rates unless otherwise stated. Figures in parentheses show the corresponding projections in the August 2014 Inflation Report, which were only available to 2016. (b)Chained-volume measure. Includes non-profit institutions serving households. (c)Chained-volume measure. (d)Chained-volume measure. Whole-economy measure. Includes new dwellings, improvements and spending on services associated with the sale and purchase of property. (e)Chained-volume measure. The historical data exclude the impact of missing trader intra-community (MTIC) fraud. Official MTIC-adjusted data are not available for exports, so headline exports data have been adjusted by Bank staff for MTIC fraud by an amount equal to the ONS import adjustment. (f)Chained-volume measure. The historical data exclude the impact of MTIC fraud. (g)Total available household resources deflated by the consumer expenditure deflator. (h)Four-quarter growth rate in Q4.
13 Chart 5.9 Import price inflation (a) Sources: ONS and Bank calculations. (a)Projections are four-quarter inflation rate in Q4. Excludes the impact of MTIC fraud. Projections were only available to 2016 at the time of the August Report.
14 Table 5.E Calendar-year GDP growth rates of the modal, median and mean paths (a) (a)The table shows the projections for calendar-year growth of real GDP consistent with the modal, median and mean projections for four-quarter growth of real GDP implied by the fan chart. Where growth rates depend in part on the MPC’s backcast, revisions to quarterly growth are assumed to be independent of the revisions to previous quarters. The numbers in parentheses show the corresponding projections in the August Inflation Report, which were only available to 2016. The November and August projections have been conditioned on market interest rates, and the assumption that the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period. (b)The anticipated upward revisions to recent estimates of quarterly GDP growth has implications for calendar-year growth in 2014 and 2015. Without the anticipated upward revisions to past GDP growth, the modal path of the Committee’s November projections would imply calendar-year growth of 3.0% in 2014 rather than 3.5%, and 2.8% in 2015 rather than 2.9%.
15 Chart 5.10 Unemployment projection based on market interest rate expectations and £375 billion purchased assets The fan chart depicts the probability of various outcomes for LFS unemployment. It has been conditioned on the assumption that the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period. The coloured bands have the same interpretation as in Chart 5.1, and portray 90% of the probability distribution. The calibration of this fan chart takes account of the likely path dependency of the economy, where, for example, it is judged that shocks to unemployment in one quarter will continue to have some effect on unemployment in successive quarters. The fan begins in 2014 Q3, a quarter earlier than the fan for CPI inflation. That is because Q3 is a staff projection for the unemployment rate, based in part on data for July and August. The unemployment rate was 6.0% in the three months to August, and is projected to fall to 5.9% in Q3 as a whole. In the later part of the forecast period, a significant proportion of this distribution lies below Bank staff’s current estimate of the long-term equilibrium unemployment rate. There is therefore uncertainty about the precise calibration of this fan chart.
16 Table 5.F Q4 CPI inflation The table shows projections for Q4 four-quarter CPI inflation. The numbers in parentheses show the corresponding projections in the August Inflation Report, which were only available to 2016. The November and August projections have been conditioned on market interest rates, and the assumption that the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves remains at £375 billion throughout the forecast period.
17 Chart 5.11 Inflation probabilities relative to the target The November and August swathes in this chart are derived from the same distributions as Charts 5.3 and 5.4 respectively. They indicate the assessed probability of inflation relative to the target in each quarter of the forecast period. The 5 percentage points width of the swathes reflects the fact that there is uncertainty about the precise probability in any given quarter, but they should not be interpreted as confidence intervals.
18 Chart 5.12 GDP projection based on constant nominal interest rates at 0.5% and £375 billion purchased assets See footnote to Chart 5.1.
19 Chart 5.13 CPI inflation projection based on constant nominal interest rates at 0.5% and £375 billion purchased assets See footnote to Chart 5.3.
