Monthly Investment Analysis Review

May 2019

1 Item 1

Three Rivers District Council Monthly Economic Summary General Economy May’s economic data began with April’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), coming in slightly lower at 53.1 from the previously recorded figure of 55.1; this was broadly in line with forecasts as stockpiling that occurred before the potential Brexit date has subsequently slowed. However, Construction PMI moved out of contraction territory (ie a reading below 50) to a 3 month high of 50.5. The return to expansion was thanks to a pickup in housebuilding. To round the PMI figures off, Services also rose out of contraction territory, rising from 48.9 to 50.4 in April. Despite the overall improvement, underlying data within the survey showed new orders contracted for a fourth month in a row, the longest such run since the global financial crisis. Combined, the surveys left the Composite figure at 50.9, indicative of modest economic growth in the early stages of the second quarter. The Bank of ’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted unanimously to keep interest rates on hold at 0.75% in May. Despite this, Governor Mark Carney did use his press conference to warn that markets were underestimating the speed of potential hikes in the near future, but he also warned that Brexit uncertainty was still weighing on business investment. The UK’s trade deficit fell in March, from an upwardly revised £6.22bn to £5.41bn. Exports rose 2.7% m/m to £54.57bn while imports grew at a slower pace, rising 1.1% to £59.97bn. Meanwhile, Britain’s economy registered a sharp boost in the first three months of 2019, rising at a quarterly rate of 0.5% in Q1, with y/y growth rising to 1.8%, up from 1.4% in the last 3 months of 2018 – this was the highest reading since Q3 2017. Part of this improvement was caused by manufacturers’ stock building for a potential no-deal Brexit, which is expected to be reversed in Q2 and thus act as a drag.

The UK’s labour market remains very tight, as the unemployment rate fell to 3.8% in the 3 months to March, from 3.9% previously, with the data release also showing that 99,000 more people gained employment. However, wage growth also fell slightly; average earnings “excluding bonuses” dropped from 3.4% to 3.3%, whilst the “including bonuses” figure showed a greater fall from 3.5% to 3.2%. CPI inflation rose back above the Bank of England’s 2% target in April, increasing from 1.9% y/y to 2.1%. The main reasons for this were cited as an increase in electricity and gas prices, whilst computer game and package holiday prices acted as a modest offset. The Core CPI figure (which strips out the more volatile components of inflation) remained at 1.8%, signalling that underlying inflationary pressures have not risen. The m/m CPI figure rose to 0.6% from 0.2% in the previous month. British shoppers paused for breath in April after months of strong spending; retail sales remained flat in April m/m, and fell to 5.2% y/y from 6.7% in March. Consumer spending has generally been a bright spot for the UK economy, contrasting with falling investment by businesses. Surveys from the British Retail Consortium suggested that Britons spent more money in bars and restaurants at the expense of retailers last month.

May’s Confederation for British Industry (CBI) and GfK surveys produced mixed results; the CBI’s Distributive Trades Survey (covering retailing) fell to -27 from a previous figure of +13, and its Industrial Trends survey also showed a drop, from -5 to -10.

2 Item 1

May’s Confederation for British Industry (CBI) and GfK surveys produced mixed results; the CBI’s Distributive Trades Survey (covering retailing) fell to -27 from a previous figure of +13, and its Industrial Trends survey also showed a drop, from -5 to -10. Contrasting these releases, the GfK Consumer Confidence reading showed a rise from -13 to -10, suggesting a rise in economic sentiment among consumers. The government’s public finances figures showed a deficit of £4.97bn in April, little different to £5bn in the same month last year, but the lowest April net borrowing figure since 2007. Excluding state-controlled banks, the deficit came in at £5.8bn, less than the £5.83bn a year earlier. The UK’s government debt is £1.8trn as of the end of April, equivalent to 82.7% of GDP, a figure which has been falling over the last year. In the USA, Nonfarm Payrolls came in at 263,000 in April, up from 189,000 in March and suggested lasting rigour in the US economy, combined with earnings remaining at 3.2% y/y and 0.2% m/m. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.6% to 3.8%, showing yet more tightening of the labour market. The second estimate of US GDP growth came in at 3.1%, above Q1’s 2.2% figure, but slightly short of forecasts. Meanwhile, in the Eurozone, GDP growth remained at 1.2% in Q1, as the effects of the global slowdown, particularly in China, have taken hold. Unemployment fell to 7.6% from 7.7% last month, the lowest jobless rate since August 2008.

Housing According to Nationwide, house prices increased by 0.9% y/y in April, and 0.4% on the month, both figures coming in above estimates. Meanwhile, Halifax’s 3-month y/y figure increased dramatically to 5% from 2.6% previously, above estimates of a 4.5% jump. On the month, they increased from a previously negative figure of -1.3%, to +1.1%, also above forecasts.

Currency Over the month of May, the pound eased against the dollar from $1.312 to $1.265. It was a similar story against the euro, beginning at €1.17 and ending at €1.133. Forecast

Link Asset Services currently forecast the next rate rise to come in Q1 2020, followed by further rises in Q3 2020, and reaching 1.75% by Q1 2022. This forecast is scheduled to be reviewed following the release of the Bank of England Quarterly Inflation Report in August. Capital Economics have cut back their forecasts, not predicting a rate rise until Q3 2020.

Water resources update

24 June 2019

Dear Sir / Madam

May rainfall below average and water resources remain below average

Our central region received 61% of the long-term average rainfall in May and groundwater sources remain below average.

As usual for this time of year, groundwater levels start a natural decline as most rainfall is used by trees and plants for growth or is lost to evaporation.

October to March is the critical recharge period when rainfall is expected to reach the aquifers (porous rock where groundwater is stored), which is used to supply 60% of Affinity Water customers.

The dry and relatively warm weather in April and May has also decreased moisture in soil. When soil is dry, this decreases the amount of rainfall that is able to reach the aquifer as rainfall is absorbed by the soil.

We have welcomed the rain that has fallen so far in June, which has reduced the demand for water. We will be providing more information on total June rainfall in the July update.

Whatever the weather, we continue to ask customers to save water. This is good for your local environment and will help you save energy, and money!

Here are a few simple things you can do to save water:

. Take advantage of the recent downpours and install a water butt, which collects rainwater from your roof. Water stored now can be used during drier periods instead of relying on treated drinking water for your plants or even washing the car. . When potting up your planters use a small amount of gel crystals. They absorb water and can help retain the moisture in the soil . Fix dripping taps. You could save over 5,500 litres of water a year. If you need to find an approved plumber visit www.watersafe.org.uk

How you can help – join our campaign #WhyNotWater

Water is not part of the climate change debate.

It is treated like an add on when it is critical to life. We need this to change now.

#WhyNotWater is a campaign to fuel a national debate to ensure water conservation is at the heart of our actions and behaviour.

Why should we act?

. Climate change is likely to reduce our supply of water in our area by 39 million litres of water per day by 2080.

13 Item 3

. The population is growing and is expected to increase 51% by 2080. This is equivalent to approximately 1.8 million more people in our supply area, putting further strain on our resources.

. Using water wisely is critical in the South East – a severely water-stressed area; did you know there was less rainfall than other parts of the country? Between July 2016 and April 2017 the area received 33% less rainfall than the national average.

. Customers in the South East also use more water daily – 152 litres per person per day, which is higher than the national average of 141 litres per person per day.

We want

1. Mandatory water efficiency labelling – labelling is currently rolled out in Australia, California, China and many other countries, so why not the UK? Labelling is also mandatory for energy, so #WhyNotWater?

2. Tenants should have the right to use water efficient goods – landlords must have an energy performance certificate (EPC) by law, with financial penalties if they do not. Private tenants also have the rights to request that their landlord installs energy efficient measures – why can’t the same standards be implemented for water?

3. Domestic water efficiency through fittings and fixtures through mandatory certification – there is considerable potential to improve water efficiency use by households if changes are made to fixture and fittings through mandatory certification approvals.

4. Every local plan in a severely water stressed area should include the target of 110 litres per person per day.

We are urging you and the communities you serve to support our #WhyNotWater manifesto to demand key changes in legislation and policy to empower people to save water, energy and help conserve the natural environment.

Please support our campaign by signing and sharing our petition at www.affinitywater.co.uk/ourpetition

The Centre – South

The build at the Leisure Centre is going very well and is on track. The excavation of the pools is complete and the cement bases have been set. Steel supports are now being installed before the second layer of concrete to further reinforce the pool supports.

The name of the leisure venue in South Oxhey currently known as The Centre will be changing from 1 September 2019 to South Oxhey Leisure Centre. With such an exciting development taking place it is the perfect time for all marketing, advertising and communications to be referencing the new name of South Oxhey Leisure Centre.

If Councillors have any questions regarding the change of name or the build itself then please contact Kelly Barnard on 01923 776611 or [email protected] directly.
