    Podcast Summary

    • Tensions over Anti-Semitism in UK Universities and Military's New 3D PrinterUniversities in the UK grapple with rising anti-semitism, requiring a tolerant environment. The British army innovates with a 3D printer for military vehicle parts, signaling potential warfare changes. Central banks consider interest rate cuts.

      Universities in the UK are facing rising tensions over anti-semitism, with some students setting up camps against the war in Gaza. Rishi Sunak has urged universities to maintain an environment of tolerance and safety for Jewish students. The situation echoes the US experience, and Universities UK is focused on preventing further escalation. Meanwhile, the British army has made a 3D printer that can produce military vehicle parts on the front line, potentially revolutionizing warfare. On the economic front, the Bank of England has hinted at a possible interest rate cut. These developments highlight the importance of maintaining a tolerant environment in educational institutions, the potential impact of technology on military operations, and the ongoing role of central banks in economic management.

    • High borrowing costs and rising whooping cough casesDespite expectations of falling inflation, borrowing costs remain high. Inflation hovers around 3.2%, and energy costs might help bring it down to the target rate of 2%. Meanwhile, whooping cough cases surge in England, and doctors advise vaccination as the best defense.

      The cost of borrowing remains high at 5.25%, a 16-year high, despite expectations that inflation might fall to the target rate of 2%. The Bank of England is not fully convinced that inflation will reach this target soon, as it currently hovers around 3.2%. However, a decrease in energy costs might help bring inflation down to the target in the next month, potentially leading to a June interest rate reduction. Meanwhile, public health concerns arise as more than 2,700 cases of whooping cough have been reported in England this year, a significant increase compared to the previous year. This surge in cases might be due to a decrease in vaccination coverage, and doctors advise getting vaccinated as the best defense against the condition.

    Mervyn King Says the Bank of England Is Making a ‘Big Mistake’

    Mervyn King Says the Bank of England Is Making a ‘Big Mistake’

    Former Governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King says the central bank hasn’t been covering itself in glory of late, and that’s partly thanks to it falling victim to groupthink. The economics profession is jammed with brilliant people, he argues on this week’s episode of Merryn Talks Money, but unfortunately, they’ve all been taught the same thing: money has absolutely nothing to do with inflation.

    Believing that was a “big mistake,” King says it’s brought the UK economy to where it is: inflation at multi-decade highs and the BOE having its credibility questioned. 

    According to King, it’s likely that—despite all money supply indicators signaling the consumer price index will soon be falling fast—the BOE will keep raising rates and the UK will end up in a recession. The central bank will have made the misstep “in both directions over a period of three to four years.” He points out that whether rates go up or down a little over the next year won’t change the fact that they are likely to remain far above the historical lows to which people are accustomed. And that suggests all asset prices are going to have to come down relative to income.

    Is a recession inevitable as inflation hammers the UK?

    Is a recession inevitable as inflation hammers the UK?
    Inflation continues to surge, the Bank of England says there is little it can do to stall it but is raising rates any way, and at the same time is warning of a potential recession looming.

    It seems safe to say this isn’t the Covid recovery year that many people were hoping for: the longed-for bout of calm and optimism has turned out to be a cost of living crisis instead.

    So, with inflation now at 9 per cent and set to rise further and central banks swiftly changing their tune on low interest rates, is a recession inevitable?

    On this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert take a look at what is driving inflation, whether there is anything the Bank of England can do, if it should have acted sooner and whether we can hope for a nice surprise with inflationary pressure subsiding quicker than expected.

    The new proposal for a four times a year energy price cap change rather than one every six months is also on the agenda, along with the sting in the tail that some say means energy firms will be much less likely to offer cheap fixes once prices start falling.

    But in one part of the energy market prices are falling already. The cost of gas in Britain has plummeted recently, Simon explains how that has happened and why we can’t take advantage to lower our energy bills now.

    And finally, Crane on the Case continues to rack up consumer victory after consumer victory, Helen fills us in on her latest cases and what readers are flocking for help on.

    Is the Age of Growth in the UK Really Over?

    Is the Age of Growth in the UK Really Over?

    Dambisa Moyo is an economist and board member of Chevron and 3M. She’s also author of the 2018 book Edge of Chaos. In this week’s episode of Merryn Talks Money, Moyo and host Merryn Somerset Webb discuss whether the world has finally slipped off the edge. 

    Moyo says it feels that way. Most economies were already stagnating before the pandemic struck, she says. Growth was trending downwards, productivity was a problem and it was hard to see how countries could all grow their GDPs at 3% a year.

    Now there’s a new and urgent question, she says: what to do with people who won’t have work in an AI dominated economy. It won’t be long before pretty much every country—even the UK—has too many workers, she warns. There are, however, some easy wins Britain can notch, she says. Namely, lowering taxes and loosening regulations. The UK has gotten a bad rap thanks to Brexit and political uncertainty, Moyo says, but that doesn’t mean it can’t take advantage of its intellectual base and prime location.
