THE ECONOMY IT’S LIKE WALKING ON GLASS

The fall in GDP confirms the ongoing fragile nature of the economy. The figure is in line with a recent FEDERATION OF SMALL BUSINESS survey which showed that confidence among small businesses plummeted in Quarter 4, recording a score of -24.5 - a fall of some 15 points from the previous quarter. In Kent the autumn FSB Small Business Barometer revealed the proportion of small business in the county forecasting the same or improved performance in 2012 had fallen by four percentage points to 66%.

The Government had made some good proposals which will help to boost growth, but it is time for action. We need to see these proposals come to fruition so that small firms begin to see action on the ground which really will benefit their business and encourage them to invest and create jobs.
