BCC monthly economic output - October

5th October 2017

Dear All Here is the BCC monthly economic output data for October.

Still a mixed picture but better than many might have predicted after the Brexit vote. From a Chamber point of view we would like to see higher growth of exports to non European countries in particular because we still see the trade deficit and the growing national debt as the major "issues" for our future. Kind Regards Richard Wright Executive Director BCC Monthly Economic Review October 2017
