3 1. BUSINESS CONDITIONS International 1 The start of 2016 has been turbulent for financial markets, leading to continued concern around global economic growth. The underlying forecasts that caused the IMF to revise their global growth forecast down in 2015 remain and to a certain degree have intensified. As a result the IMF now project global growth of 3.4% for 2016, this is 0.2 percentage points lower than projected in October In addition the World Bank has revised its forecast for the 2016 global economy to 2.9, down from 3.3%; and the OECD has also expressed doubt about potential future growth. There are three forces that are fundamental to the current global outlook: slower growth in China and rising financial risks amid a backdrop of economic rebalancing away from traditional industry and construction towards the service industry. Falling commodity prices most notably oil; and asynchronous trends in monetary policy mainly in advanced economies. Whilst all these factors are not necessarily negative they do present big adjustment challenges for many countries. National Data from ONS has shown that the UK economy grew by 0.5% in the three months to the end of December, making the annual rate of growth for 2015 to 2.2%. This is down on 2014 s growth rate of 2.9%. Whilst the pace of annual growth is its slowest for three years, the UK economy is among the fastest growing among developed nations 2. Despite the positive tone of the Autumn Statement, in the context of a turbulent global economy Chancellor George Osborne has warned that one of the biggest risks to the national economy is complacency and that 2016 is going to be a difficult year for the economy. In mid-january the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to keep interest rates the same at a record low of 0.5%, this has remained unchanged since March One of the factors influencing the sustained interest rate is due to slow wage growth. Despite UK unemployment being at a 10-year low, average weekly earnings (including bonuses) were up only 2%; this is the slowest increase since February If bonuses were to be excluded, average weekly earnings growth slowed to 1.9% in the three months to October. This is below the growth forecast of 2.1%. The MPC have cited that they would like to see earnings growth at above 3% a year before interest rates are increased. Local The international and national context all impacts on the local economy. To mirror the Chancellor s sentiment the WE should not become complacent, one of the main issues for growth in the WE is the effective use of labour and the need to address structural weaknesses in the productivity drivers of investment, skills and competitiveness. The employment rate for the WE continues to rise, currently standing at 77.9%, 4.3 p.p. higher than the same period the previous year. The claimant count in the WE also continues to fall to 1.1% in December This is higher than the SW average of 0.9% but below the English average of 1.4%. Within the WE, the range was from 0.5% in Bath and NE Somerset, 0.7% in North Somerset, 0.8% in South Gloucestershire and 1.5% in Bristol City. 1 Source:

However this was a decrease in the number of businesses being started up, -279 businesses on the previous quarter, resulting in a 11.5 percentage point (p.p) decrease. A decrease in the number of startups in Q4 seems to be the normal trend. Comparing the 4 th quarter of 2015 with the same quarter of 2014 there has been an increase in the number of start-ups across most industrial groups. The largest increases in start-ups were in real estate, professional services & support activities; manufacturing; and accommodation and food. Business start-up data fluctuates quarter to quarter. Business start ups are an indication of entrepreneurialism and innovation and it is within these business start-ups that the jobs of the future will be created. However, rising start-ups can also signal times of economic distress; survival and positive churn within these start-ups are what matters.

5 2. SECTORS (SELECTIVE INDICATORS) This section primarily covers indicators for retail and tourism, which provide a dynamic picture of the health of the local economy. Both retail and tourism are influenced by disposable income. a) Retail The health of the high street continues to show signs of growth. Nationally in December 2015, the volume of retail sales is estimated to have increased by 2.6% compared with December The quantity bought decreased marginally on the previous month, decreasing by 1% on November The underlying pattern in the data, as suggested by the 3 month on 3 month movement in the quantity bought, showed growth for the 24th consecutive month, increasing by 1.1 %(source: Retail Sales January 2015, ONS). B&NES 2015 has seen a number of key occupiers repositioning their Bath premises to larger more appropriate locations as the City Centre s retail offer evolve following the full occupation of SouthGate. Linked to this the expansion of the City Centre leisure and hospitality offer is helping to enhance the city s visitor experience. Occupier interest remains high and vacancy rates well below national averages leading to upward pressure on rent levels in some locations. Bristol As of December 2015 there was a retail vacancy rate of 6.5%. Over the last 12 months the retail vacancy rate for Bristol hasn t changed significantly. North Somerset As of January 2015 there was a retail vacancy of 13% in Weston-super-Mare town centre. This is a 0.3% decrease on the reported figure for April It should be noted that a significant proportion of the vacancies are within the wider town centre area, the primary frontage is performing better. South Gloucestershire As of December 2015 the retail vacancy rate was 4.7%. The trend continues in South Gloucestershire of smaller high streets and town centers seeing longer-term unoccupied premises. 4

The totals are for a regular sample of attractions to allow trends to be identified and the figures do not represent the total number of visitors to all attractions In Q3 of 2015 the number of visitors to attractions in the WE increased on the same quarter for 2014, increasing by 15%. Room sales were up on the same period for 2014 by 0.6%. The West of England is in a strong position to target both the domestic and foreign holiday market due to its diverse offer, from the historical World Heritage City of Bath, the cultural vibrancy of Bristol, traditional seaside of Weston-super-Mare and beautiful surrounding English countryside.

EMPLOYMENT /LABOUR MARKET England Indicator Oct Sept 2015 WE WE Oct Oct Sept 2015 Sept 2014 Employment Rate Direction of Change Unemployment Rate Source: Annual Population Survey, NOMIS The West of England employment rate in the year to Sept 2015 stood at 77.9 % (approx. 544,000 people). This is an increase on the same period the previous year by 4.3 percentage points (p.p). The West of England has a higher economic rate than that of England as a whole and the Core City LEP areas. Since the beginning of 2014 employment in the region has substantially increased and is now close to the levels of Southern LEPs. It is worth noting that smaller areas are more susceptible to survey based confidence limits consequently the West of England seemingly experiences greater fluctuations, making the data appear erratic. Unemployment rates within the West of England for the working age population (16-64) in the year to September 2015 stood at 4.0% (approx. 22,400 people), a reduction on the same period the previous year by 2.6 p.p. The unemployment rate for the West of England consistently remains below the average for England and currently stands below that the average unemployment rate for the Southern LEP comparators.

This is a decrease of 0.3 p.p on the same month the previous year. The West of England is continuing to broadly follow the national trends with the claimant rate for the West of England being 0.3 p.p lower than it is for England. Graph 7 identifies that since February 2013 there has been generally a steady decline in the number of claimants within the West of England. However, pockets of long-term unemployment in the West of England remain. 8

This is an increase of 73% on the same period in Please note that the data is only representative of those jobs advertised online and may not capture job placements advertised internally within an organisation or through more traditional methods such as an advert in a shop window or through word of mouth. This more traditional form of job advertisement tends to effect particular sectors such as the construction industry and independent retailers. 9

The bulk of advertised jobs are within professional occupations and associate professional and technical occupations, which generally require higher and rather specific skills/qualifications; however there are a significantly lower number of people currently claiming JSA seeking these types of occupations. Conversely there are a high number of people seeking lower skilled occupations, such as sales and customer service occupations. 10

13 4. PROPERTY AND PLANNING a) House Prices Indicator West of England in September 2015 Comparison with this month last year House Prices 216,651 House Sales 1,704 Source: West of England figure calculated by the West of England Office using Land Registry Data. In September 2015 the average house prices across the West of England increased by about 2,535 on the previous month of August This was a significant increase on the same month during the previous year increasing by 13,846. The average house prices in the West of England remain higher than that of England and Wales, although following a similar trend pattern. It should be noted that there are marked variations between the UAs within the West of England, with average house prices in B&NES being significantly higher than the other authorities. There are also marked variations within individual authorities. Affordability Median Annual Earnings 2014 Average House Prices 2014 Ratio B&NES 26, , Bristol 26, , North Somerset 29, , South Gloucestershire 28, , Source: Land Registry; Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, Office for National Statistics. Direction of Change In 2014 average house prices vastly outstripped median annual earnings varying from 6.4 times average earnings in North Somerset and 9.2 times in B&NES. House prices could present an issue in the West of England as economic growth could be seriously limited across the partnership area if workers cannot afford to live in the area. It could also worsen the unsustainable pattern of in-bound commuting from more affordable areas within and outside the partnership area; this in turn has a knock on effect for the success of businesses operating in the area. 12

15 Since April 2015, Invest Bristol & Bath (IBB) have generated 133 new inward investment leads, including 51 new projects and 28 qualified leads, and have successfully located 29 projects. IBB is well positioned to meet all targets. The number of new leads generated has slightly decreased from previous year, with more emphasis on generating quality than quantity. IBB have adopted new categories since April that now classify early stages leads as prospects in particular when there has been no direct engagement yet with the potential investor. Prospects are not counted against IBB s new activity targets; this new approach will improve the quality of leads generated by IBB but has resulted in a decrease in numbers from previous year when similar opportunities would be counted against the target. Graph 11: Total new jobs April 15 January 16 NB; job numbers are provided as an estimate of job creation over a three year period as indicated by the investing company and independently verified. Source: Invest in Bristol and Bath, Agilebase database The number of successes in 2015 is comparable to the same period in 2014, but success to job creation ratio has increased significantly from IBBs greater focus on securing high value success. 712 new jobs have been committed to date by 29 successful projects. One recent major success is ForgeRock and the expansion of its R&D centre in Bristol with 50 new jobs committed over the next three years. Another strategic investment by ALD Automotive, a leading provider of company car contract hire and vehicle leasing, will create 50 new jobs in Emersons Green Enterprise Area. 14
