In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

S&P affirms DOHI ratings at ‘A’ – Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Ratings
Services affirmed its ‘A’ insurer financial strength and
counterparty credit ratings on Qatar-based Doha Insurance Co.
(DOHI). The outlook remains stable. S&P said although the
company’s operating performance had deteriorated in 2014 as a
result of higher expenses, mainly in relation to set-up costs of its
Dubai entity, the company continued to outperform its peers with
a combined (loss and expense) ratio of 79.9% (versus 75.3% in
2013). S&P also views favorably DOHI’s diversification plans and
the relatively high level of controlled distribution. The rating
agency has therefore changed its assessment of the insurer’s
competitive position to strong from adequate. (Peninsula Qatar)

QCB Chief: QSE upgrade top achievement of QFMA in 2014 – Qatar
Central Bank (QCB) Governor Sheikh Abdullah bin Saud al Thani
said the upgrade of the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) to the status of
emerging market by international institutions like MSCI and

Markets Authority (QFMA) in 2014. The QCB governor noted that
the upgrade is vital for increasing flows of foreign investments to

this important achievement came after the amendments and

the Qatari capital market. Qatar's economy assumed advanced
ranks on the scale of the international and Arab classifications in
2014. He further added that Qatar's capital market needs to

US GDP accelerates, wage growth slows in 2Q2015 – The US
economic growth accelerated in 2Q2015 as solid consumer
spending offset the drag from weak business spending on
equipment. The Commerce Department said the GDP expanded at
a 2.3% annual rate in 2Q2015. GDP in 1Q2015, previously
reported to have shrunk at a 0.2% pace, was revised up to show it
rising at a 0.6% rate. The economy grew 1.5% in 1H2015 as
compared to 1.9% during 1H2014. The growth in 2Q2015 was
boosted by consumer spending, which grew at a 2.9% rate from a
1.8% pace in 1Q2015. On the other hand, US labor costs in 2Q2015
recorded their smallest increase in 33 years as workers earned
less in commissions and bonuses. The Labor Department said the
4. Page 4 of 7
Employment Cost Index, the broadest measure of labor costs,
edged up 0.2% followed a 0.7% rise in 1Q2015. However, the
surprisingly smaller rise reported by the Labor Department did
little to temper expectations that the Federal Reserve is set to raise
interest rates later in 2015. (Reuters)
Eurozone inflation stable, economic confidence strengthens in July –
Eurozone inflation remained unchanged in July as a further decline
of energy prices negated the impact of more expensive industrial
goods and services, leaving the European Central Bank (ECB) with
more work to do to push up prices. The European Union’s
statistics office, Eurostat said that consumer prices in the 19
countries sharing the euro rose by 0.2% YoY in July, same as in
June. Energy prices were 5.6% lower YoY, a steeper decline than in
June. Unprocessed food increased by 1.3% in July, down from 1.9%
in June. The eurozone ended four months of deflation in April, but
inflation is still far below the ECB’s target of just under 2%.
Meanwhile, the European Commission’s monthly economic
sentiment indicator for eurozone edged up to 104.0 in July from
103.5 in June. Business morale increased to 0.39 points, its highest
level since May 2014. The commission said that improved
sentiment resulted from higher confidence in industry, services
and retail trade, which was only partially outweighed by lower
consumer confidence. (Reuters)
Japan factory output subdued, spending slumps in June – Japan’s
factory output rose modestly in June after a big drop in May,
highlighting worries of an economic slump in 2Q2015 as exports
weaken and manufacturers are saddled with large inventories.
Data from the trade ministry showed industrial production rose
0.8% MoM in June after dropping 2.1% in May. Meanwhile,
Japanese household spending fell 2.0% in the year to June after
rising 4.8% in May, confounding market expectations for a 1.7%
increase. While the government blamed the rainy weather for
deterring shoppers, weak demand for cars and housing suggest the
rising cost of living is denting appetite for big-ticket items.
Moreover, annual core consumer inflation, which includes oil
products but excludes volatile fresh food prices, rose 0.1% in June,
slightly exceeding market expectations of no change. The
unexpected fall in household spending and stalling inflation is
heightening the chance the economy may have contracted in April-
June and casting doubts on the central bank’s view that growth
will rebound solidly in 3Q2015. (Reuters)
China official PMI slips as growth slowdown bites – The China’s
official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) slipped
to a five-month low. The PMI stood at 50 in July, down from 50.2 in
June. The non-manufacturing PMI, a measure of services and
construction, was at 53.9 versus 53.8 in June. Numbers above 50
indicate expansion. Zhao Qinghe, Senior Statistician at the National
Bureau of Statistics said the internal and external demand for the
manufacturing sector is still on the weak side. Zhao cited the
impact from hot weather, storms and commodity prices as major
reasons for the drop. The data echoes a private PMI that weakened
in July, an indication interest-rate cuts and efforts to shore up local
government finances have yet to spark a recovery despite recent
signs of stabilization. (Bloomberg)
Brazil boosts key rate for sixth straight meeting – Brazil’s central
bank raised its key rate by 50 basis points (bps) for a sixth straight
meeting and signaled that borrowing costs are high enough to
slow inflation toward its target. The bank’s board boosted the Selic
rate to 14.25%. The central bank changed language in the
communiqué for the first time in 2015, adding that “holding that
interest rate level for a sufficiently prolonged period is necessary
for the convergence of inflation toward the target at the end of
2016.” With inflation running at more than double the official
target, policy makers chose to maintain the pace of rate increases
in the face of a looming recession in Latin America’s largest
economy. (Bloomberg)
Russia central bank cuts key rate on cooling economy – Russia’s
central bank cut its key interest rate by 50 basis points (bps) to
11% on July 31, as expected, citing a cooling economy that it said
outweighed inflation risks. In its accompanying statement, the
bank played down a recent pick up in inflation, focusing instead on
the economic downturn, which the bank said may lead it to revise
down its output forecasts. The bank also removed a phrase saying
that it was ready to lower rates in line with falling inflation in
future. Meanwhile, inflation accelerated to 15.8% as of July 27, up
from 15.3% in June. The bank said that was temporary result of
utility tariff increases and inflation would fall to 7% in July 2016
and to 4% in 2017, meeting the bank’s target. The bank appeared
much more worried about economic growth, saying an
unexpectedly severe contraction in domestic demand in 1H2015
meant that it may lower its output forecast for a 3.2% GDP
contraction in 2015. (Reuters)

OPEC oil production falls as Iraqi output slips from record – OPEC
crude output declined in July 2015 as Iraqi production slipped
from a record in June 2015. According to a Bloomberg survey of oil
companies, producers and analysts, output by the OPEC decreased
362,000 barrels to 32.107mn barrels a day in July 2015. June’s
total was revised 335,000 barrels higher, to 32.469mn barrels a
day, because of changes to the Saudi, Kuwaiti, Angolan and
Nigerian estimates. As per Bloomberg data, OPEC agreed on June 5
to retain its collective output target of 30mn barrels a day, a level
that it exceeded for 14 months. As per the survey, Iraqi production
dropped 194,000 barrels a day to 4.194mn barrels in July 2015.

Mashreq CEO: UAE credit growth expected to be around 2% in 2015
– Mashreq Bank CEO and Chairman of the UAE Banks Federation,
Abdul Aziz al-Ghurair said that credit growth in the UAE is
expected to be around 2% in 2015. His forecast was lower than the
expectations of many bankers just a few months ago and is a fresh
sign the UAE credit cycle may have peaked because of low oil
prices and cooling property markets. Ghurair also predicted that
banking sector profits would rise about 10% in 2015 – but said
some of that growth would come from lower impairment charges
for bad loans, rather than expansion of lending. According to
revised central bank data, gross bank lending in the UAE grew
8.0% in 2014. A recently published quarterly central bank survey
showed growth in demand for business credit and personal loans
continued to slow in 2Q2015, while lenders' expectations for the
quarter ahead softened. The central bank attributed the slowdown
to a natural adjustment from unusually fast growth in the middle
of 2014. (GulfBase.com)
