Newsletter - May 2015

Staving off the winter chill

Colder weather has started to bite over the last week as winter draws nearer, but we've got plenty of economics to warm you up in our latest newsletter.  This month we cover a wide range of topics, stretching from the economic costs of a possible new greenhouse gas emissions target, to an update on the outlook for interest rates, as well as a number of areas of interest to local government.

We're also in the process of preparing our latest set of macroeconomic and industry forecasts, which will be available to clients on June 19.
