October 19, 2015 By Young Research

Danny Gabay of Fathom Consulting, and formerly of the Bank of England, told BBC Radio 4 that “Quite frankly we don’t believe them. It’s not just that they come in suspiciously close to the target, it’s that they’re produced remarkably quickly and rarely revised.” (Businessinsider.com)
