MNI DATA SURVEY: UK 3rd GDP Est, IoS, Curr Acc, Gfk & BOE Cred

MNI (London)
By Jai Lakhani
     LONDON (MNI) - As expected, MNI median estimates show that the final
estimate of UK Q1 GDP is highly unlikely to be changed from its prior two
estimates of 0.1% q/q and 1.2% y/y. Only one out of ten estimates picks an
upward revision to 0.2% q/q.

     MNI median estimates also suggest an improvement in the UK current account
balance in quarter 1. After a prior deficit of stg18.4 bn, a reduction of stg0.7
bn is expected, lowering the deficit to stg17.7 bn.

     A mixed bag appears to be the case for the June UK Gfk consumer sentiment
with some analysts anticipating an improvement in the -7 figure whilst others
expect a deterioration. The result is a median estimate that is unchanged from
the prior -7 reported in May.

     The money and credit data from BOE is fairly downbeat with a prior recovery
in consumer credit and weak growth in mortgage approvals, expected to move back
slightly in the wrong direction. Mortgage approvals are expected to fall to
62,400 after a prior of 62,500, whilst net consumer credit is expected to fall
from stg1.8bn to stg1.5bn.
