Penta-informed Oxford Economics report suggests momentum in UK wage growth

Penta-informed Oxford Economics report suggests momentum in UK wage growth

Sentiment data from Oxford Economics, which was developed in collaboration with Penta, suggests that momentum in UK wage growth is much stronger than the MPC expects. Because of this, once official data catches up, it will likely pressurize the Bank of England to tighten policy in order to get inflation under control.

Key findings: 
  • Our shared data also suggests that despite weak UK GDP growth, employment growth has remained strong.
  • The UK labor market has seen significant improvement recently which, as inflation falls back, likely reflects improving real wages.
  • Despite monetary tightening, sentiment has also been improving in the labor market, of which a contributory factor may have been the rise of strike action and the resulting improvements in pay conditions.
