The 2018 Peston Lecture The Fall in Productivity Growth: Causes and Implications
Silvana Tenreyro Monetary Policy Committee, Bank of England 15 January 2018
Preview of main points
- Finance and manufacturing account for most of the fall in UK
productivity growth.
- Post-crisis drag from finance should disappear as deleveraging
ends.
- Slower manufacturing productivity growth may relate to a
reduced impact of cheap imported inputs from emerging markets.
- Weak investment has been increasingly important for
manufacturing and aggregate productivity.

Take away
- Manufacturing and finance account for most of the UK productivity slowdown.
- The Finance boom and bust can be traced to the pre-crisis growth in leverage
and the subsequent deleveraging post-crisis.
– As deleveraging runs its course, finance should stop detracting from average productivity.
- Pre-crisis productivity growth in manufacturing may be related to offshoring and
rapidly falling prices of imported inputs.
– Going forward, global growth momentum should give a boost to UK manufacturing.
- In aggregate weak investment has been the main drag on labour productivity
growth.
– As uncertainty is removed, investment could help recover lost ground.
