The financial and economic stresses unleashed in 2007-09 have lingered into the current year; economic recovery in the UK continues slowly, but in Europe recovery momentum appears to be faltering.
Across the continent as a whole, investor concern over government debt has been manifest in plunging stockmarkets, falling currency values and widening debt yields. These issues are unlikely to be resolved permanently until governments gain a firmer grip on their finances.
In the UK, the general election has delivered a new coalition government – something of an experiment, both politically and constitutionally.
The new administration has already begun to make changes in government expenditure and has delivered a comprehensive manifesto for change. Businesses now look forward to the arrival of a new Budget and the Comprehensive Spending Review.
The Food & Grocery Monitor is a new report series from IGD, replacing the previous Quarterly Economic Update to help keep managers in the industry abreast of changes impacting the industry from the outside. Unlike the previous series, the Monitor goes beyond economic coverage to include other relevant information.
It is intended to provide up-to-date information and actionable analysis for managers and planners, combining a range of sources in one concise document. It focuses primarily on the UK, with some international coverage.
The Monitor is published four times in 2010 (this is issue two) and is only available as a set. By ordering, you'll receive all four issues from throughout the year. Find out about Issue One here.
All of the main charts and data used in previous editions are still available and have been updated – these may be downloaded as a Powerpoint file for use in other presentations (please remember to credit IGD for any proprietary research).
