Q & A WITH JLA
LA: How closely is UK recovery linked to our European neighbours?
RB: The EU accounts for about half of the UK's exports, which in turn accounts for about 30% of GDP - so the influence is enormous. It is going to be very difficult for the UK economy to recover fully without a decent recovery in the Eurozone.
JLA: Do you see circumstances in which Euro membership might change?
RB: It's now more likely than not that over the next five years at least one member will leave the Eurozone. Greece is the most likely candidate. But the country who's departure would be most beneficial for Europe and the world is Germany.
JLA: How great a problem might inflation become in 2011?
RB: Inflation will be the most talked about problem in 2011, but it will be more apparent than real. It is set to plunge in 2012.
JLA: What shocks might still be lurking on the horizon?
RB: Protectionism, Euro break-up, sharp falls in house prices, further bank failures.
