Regeneration Zone - Implementation Plan 2006/2009 - a report from Future Foundations

The Zone has now been in operation for three years and our experience over this time will help inform and guide us over the lifetime of this ZIP. The secretariat will continue to focus on addressing the challenges to 'delivery', especially as we look to contribute to major transformational change across the Zone, process skills and partner engagement will be crucial.

UK Economic Outlook - a report from PriceWaterHouseCoopers - July 2006
UK GDP growth is projected in our main scenario to pick up gradually from an estimated 1.9% in 2005 to around 2.25% in 2006 and 2.5% in 2007.
Consumer spending growth is expected to remain somewhat below trend at an average of around 2% in 2006 and 2.25% in 2007, as consumers remain cautious in the face of high household debt levels and a gently rising trend in unemployment. Public spending growth will also slow over the next two years. Net exports should have a broadly neutral effect on GDP in 2006-7, in contrast to their generally negative impact on GDP growth in the period since 1996.
