Hi guys,
Can anyone suggest a good resource to learn more about the current UK economy?
This is quite an open ended question as the economy is large and disparate.
I would second the FT, it will take a while to start following the major threads of discourse surrounding the economy (most relevant to you will probably be, inflation/interest rates, m&a activity and any competition issues)
If you want to genuinely understand the economy it's good to learn about how central banks work, shadowbanking and eurodollars.
One section of the FT I like is called FT Alphaville, which is very in depth but with a very laidback/humorous approach.
Bank of England website also good but good to get further background knowledge.
It's about the american central bank (the fed) but I'd really recommend The Fed Unbound, it's available as a free audiobook on spotify. A whole lot of what is spoken about is applicable to how the bank of england works/has worked.
Investopedia is also really good for definitions and terms, again more applicable to american but a lot of it means the same stuff.
FT podcasts also good: unhedged, behind the money
