AVERAGE EARNINGS GROWTH FALLS TO 5.1%
The chance of further UK interest rate
hikes this year narrowed as figures
showed average earnings in the three
months to April 5.1% up on a year ago.
The figure was well down on the revised
figure of 5.7% for the previous quarter
and surprised analysts who forecast
only a slight easing to 5.6%.
National Statistics said the large fall
was due to Millennium payments and
bonuses coming out of the calculation.
