As the year draws to a close and the blog prepares for a couple of weeks’ downtime over the festive period, we recap on the five most viewed posts for the year. They span a wide range of topics including the reason for weak productivity growth, the macroeconomic effects of demographic change, what steeper yield curves mean for bank profitability, the future prospects for digital currencies, and drivers of consumer credit growth.
If you missed any of them first time round, this is a good chance to catch up on the posts that your fellow readers liked (or at least read) the most:
- The seven deadly paradoxes of cryptocurrency
- Population ageing and the macroeconomy
- Is a steeper yield curve good news for banks? A challenge to conventional wisdom
- The UK’s productivity puzzle is in the top tail of distribution
- Who’s driving consumer credit growth
We hope you enjoyed the blog in 2018. Happy Christmas and we look forward to you reading our posts in 2019!
