The government might be celebrating falling inflation, but higher prices for goods and services are here to stay

The cost of living crisis laid bare in the Observer: food, energy, broadband, mobile phone, car insurance and mortgage costs all examined.

 

I'm afraid that Brexit alone can't account for some of these increases: I suspect that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will be pretty busy in the months ahead. The rises in car insurance, in particular, are out of sync with the rest of Europe by a remarkable degree.

Tesco says price pressures easing as profits soar

Tesco says price pressures easing as profits soar | Aggregate Demand and Supply | Scoop.it
The UK's biggest supermarket chain made annual pre-tax profits of nearly £2.3bn up from £882m.

Via Graham Watson
Graham Watson's curator insight, April 10, 8:33 AM

The latest results from the grocery retail sector have seen a substantial rise in profit for Tesco, as food prices appear to be coming down faster than prices. You would expect this, but the extent to which profits have risen might also hint at collusion within the sector, a function of the oligopolistic nature of the market structure. 

 

Tesco will argue that they face tough competition from the discounters, and that they've lowered the price of 4,000 products, but that assumes that an established supermarket and a discounter are substitutes for all customers and, to be honest, 4,000 goods doesn't represent a significant proportion of all the goods Tesco sells.

Thanks to near-monopolies in many industries, corporations are seeing record profits as consumers struggle with high prices

Via Graham Watson
Graham Watson's curator insight, April 12, 3:17 AM

Evidence of price gouging - with firms taking advantage of an inflationary environment to boost profits. Who would have thought it?

 

Certainly Robert Reich thinks that stubborn inflation in the US might be related to record levels of corporate profit earned in the fourth quarter of 2023. He argues that many industries are more concentrated than ever, and firms able to exploit their market power, and act against consumers' interests.  

 

They'll be suggesting it could be happening in the UK, next. Remind me, what were Tesco's profits last year?

Prices in non-food stores are lower in April than a year earlier as stores offload summer stock

Via Graham Watson
Graham Watson's curator insight, April 30, 1:42 AM

The latest data from the British Retail Consortium shows that prices on the High Street are rising less rapidly than they were last year as clothing retailers look to shift summer stock in the wake of the cold and wet start to the period. 

 

As a result, the cost of non-food goods fell by 0.6%, even though when taken together prices rose by 0.8% the lowest level since December 2021.

Hurrah! Europe has exited recession, with the big four economies -  France, Spain, Germany and Italy - helping push Eurozone growth for the first quarter to 0.3%, exceeding expectations. It seems that the prospect of falling inflation and accommodative monetary policy mean that it will slowly recover, although growth will remain moderate.

US inflation remains problematically high, and has actually gone up over the last month, driven by fuel and housing costs. As a result, the Fed are likely to be more reluctant to lower interest rates and this has implications for the conduct of monetary policy everywhere.

This could be Microeconomic - D&S - but I've put it here because I'd like you to think about it in simple terms. How would you show this on a Production Possibility Curve (PPC)? 

 

Then extrapolate: what does a reduction in food security mean for the main macroeconomic objectives: economic growth, inflation, unemployment, the Balance of Payments and inequality. Always, everywhere, economics in action.

This article looks at the fate of craft brewers, arguing that the present environment is a perfect storm for them - with rising costs - notably energy, wages and borrowing - and ever more competition in the sector. As a result, profit margins are being squeezed, the number of smaller brewers is starting to decline and others think that this is symptomatic of a sector on the wane.
