Trend growth: new evidence and prospects
This paper sets out the Treasury's revised view on the neutral rate of trend output growth for the post-2006 period. It reports on the main new evidence since Budget 2006 and reconsiders the projections of the components of trend growth - labour productivity, average hours, the employment rate and working-age population. The paper draws together the implications for trend output growth based on the analysis of recent evidence, and compares the Treasury's new projection trend output growth with estimates produced by external organisations.
