Britain's tourism and recreation sector experienced the sharpest decline of any industry in the UK in September, the latest Lloyds Bank UK Sector Tracker shows.

Output in the sector, which includes pubs, hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities, contracted at the fastest pace (36.3) since February last year, when the nation was last in lockdown.

Paul Bainsfair, IPA Director General:

“We know from analysis of additional S&P500 data and new data from the FTSE 100 benchmarks that strong brands are a critical strategic asset that deliver value and that their budgets are an investment not a cost. Furthermore, we see from this data that strongly branded companies recover quickly after a crisis and retain their performance. We appreciate, however, that while increasing or maintaining investment in marketing during these tough economic times is generally the ideal thing for companies to do, it is not necessarily the easiest thing to do – as these latest Bellwether results imply. But there are ways around this.
“Instead of slashing budgets that can lose brands their customers’ awareness and subsequent market share, our experts would advise that after optimising their pricing and promotions strategy, which would usually include supporting with brand advertising, companies tweak their brands’ marketing budgets subject to their geography, portfolio, channels and media – all of which will have variations that can be optimised accordingly. Equally, we’d advocate a longer-term approach that steers away from heavy sales activations which can erode brand loyalty and lose companies profit.”

Joe Hayes, Senior Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence and author of the Bellwether Report:

"Bellwether survey data suggests that UK companies were able to squeeze out another round of marketing budget growth in the third quarter, although momentum has faded quite significantly since the first half of 2022 as the broader economic picture has darkened. Budget cuts are being seen across the majority of the monitored segments of marketing spend as companies move into retrenchment mode due to soaring costs and slowing demand. The cost-of-living crisis will continue to weigh on household earnings throughout the winter, meaning discretionary spending cutbacks are inevitable for the UK's low-to-middle income groups that are at the heart of the economy."

Total marketing budget growth slows as cost-of-living crisis dents UK economy
Key points:

? Eventsremainakeyavenueofmarketinggrowth but budget cuts seen elsewhere
? Financial outlook at its most downbeat since the start of the pandemic
? Adspend forecast for 2022 revised higher to 3.7% as UK government's energy support package provides relief for households and firms
Another period of total marketing budget growth was recorded in the third quarter of 2022, latest Bellwether survey data showed, continuing the positive trend that began over a year ago. However, the expansion slowed for a second successive quarter as the cost- of-living crisis, soaring energy bills, weakening demand and economic uncertainty stalled business decision-making and led some companies to retrench.

Jeavon Lolay, Head of Economics and Market Insight, Lloyds Bank Corporate and Institutional Banking, said:

“Inflation returned to double digits, reaching 10.1% in September.

“While we expect UK inflation to remain stubbornly high in the coming months, there are clear signs of an easing in pipeline cost pressures in our latest UK Sector Tracker report. In the third quarter, output prices rose more slowly in 12 of the 14 sectors we monitor, meanwhile input cost inflation moderated across all 14 sectors compared to the previous quarter.

“That’s not to say that businesses won’t continue to face intense cost pressures, but suggests that peak inflation is near. This will be welcome news for both businesses and consumers.

Scott Barton, Managing Director, Lloyds Bank Corporate and Institutional Banking, added:

“Management teams are facing a difficult balancing act. They must adapt to make sure they’re not overtrading amid weaker demand, while ensuring that they’re still in a position to respond to any new growth opportunities.

“Maintaining strong working capital management will be key to helping walk this fine line. By making sure that funds aren’t unnecessarily tied-up in working capital, businesses will be in the strongest possible position to capitalise on rises in demand ahead.”

Tourism and recreation experienced the sharpest fall in output of any UK sector in September, according to the latest Lloyds Bank UK Sector Tracker.

Output in the sector, which includes pubs, hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities, contracted at the fastest pace (36.3) since February 2021, when the UK was last in lockdown.

The drop was caused by demand – represented by new orders – falling for a fourth consecutive month (38.5) as consumers reined-in discretionary spending amid rising inflation.

However, five of the 14 UK sectors saw output grow in September (vs. three in August), while the same number saw new orders grow (vs. three in August)*.

Output growth was highest among software service providers (55.8 vs. 63.1 in August), followed by healthcare firms (53.6 vs. 47.8). A reading on the Tracker above 50.0 indicates expansion. In contrast, the metals and mining sector was closely behind tourism and recreation in posting rapid output contraction (38.2 vs 57.4).

SP just taking a breather before the next rally some headwinds with the latest double-digit inflation figures out

BHP Group (BHP) has reported a robust increase in production across the board, navigating the challenging headwinds of Chinese lockdowns and reduced demand with more ease than its rivals.

The miner has reported rising output for iron ore and copper over the past quarter, despite China sticking firmly to its zero Covid policy and concerns of a global recession.

UK inflation rises to 10.1 per cent

LONDON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Britain's annual rate of consumer price inflation inched up to 10.1% in September, returning to a 40-year high hit in July, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the inflation rate would rise to 10.0% from 9.9% in August.

The ONS said the main driver of inflation in September was rising food prices.

Oct 18 (Reuters) - British Airways is set to avoid a pilots' strike after the airline reached an agreement on the outline of a pay deal with the union, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

The IAG (ICAG.L)-owned carrier's agreement with the British Airline Pilots' Association (BALPA) includes a 4% pay rise for this year.

"We are pleased to have agreed a pay proposal in principle with BALPA, which will now be put to members with a recommendation from the union," British Airways said in a statement.
