So say economists in the latest Reuters poll
All economists polled say that a consumer slowdown is underway
60/60 say there will be no change from the BOE March 16th
UK bank rate will stay at 0.25% until end of 2019, at the least
29/33 say wage growth is unlikely to keep pace with inflation
UK economy to grow 1.6% in 2017, 1.2% 2018 (1.5% & 1.3% prior)
