Summary The picture presented in July remains largely
unchanged, with lower growth and high inflation.
But GDP growth has so far this year been weaker than expected.
Inflation is at its highest since the mid-1990s. But crude oil and other commodity prices
have fallen. At the same time, productivity has been
lower, which has led to increased wage costs.
