CITY VIEWS: DO YOU FEEL MORE OR LESS POSITIVE ABOUT THE ECONOMY THAN YOU DID AT THE START OF THE YEAR?*
STEPHEN CAVANAGH | CSIS
“I feel more negative – from my experience I can see the market double-dipping again. I worry that things might relapse back to the immediate post-Lehman era.”
STEVE PENNY | SKYLINE OFFICE LTD
“It is only a couple of months into the year and so far it has not changed. I felt negative about the economy at the end of last year, and I still feel negative about it now.”
WILLIAM CHESSHYRE | WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF GUNMAKERS
“I think it is more positive than the beginning of the year – there are indications of some businesses investing more money. Although some people are still losing their jobs, unemployment hasn’t been rising as steeply as last year. The media is starting to be more positive, which is having a good effect on confidence.”
