Economic diary for week ending 15th August 2008

Economy 

We have a number of key reports due out this week, in particular the inflation reports for the US, Europe and the UK. We have already seen the

UK factory inflation figures released (PPI), with input inflation falling to minus 0.6 against an expected 1% growth.

  I would expect further falls in the other inflation figures released later in the week.   Diary
