UK: GDP Normalisation Falls Flat in Jul-22

Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

The UK’s probable next Prime Minister is channelling frustration about high inflation towards a review of the Bank of England, raising the risk of a remit change.
Alternatives like average inflation and nominal GDP targeting remain undesirable, so a credible review will probably support the 2% inflation target.
Removing the distraction of supporting green objectives would be sensible politics. Restricting non-state dependent guidance would be more beneficial but is less likely.
