    Signpost Monthly Update September 2008

    Dented, but not destroyed

    With the impact of the credit crisis on the real economy becoming all too readily apparent, the obvious question now is ‘How far down?’ – are we talking a standard recession, a full-scale depression, or somewhere in between?  We look at three possible scenarios – ‘awful’, ‘brutal’ and ‘catastrophic’.  In summary, we don’t expect a depression, but think that the recession could be longer and deeper than those experienced in recent decades.
