As confidence returns, it seems almost impolite to point out that the British economy still has a sickly core of weak investment, productivity and wages, and that hard policy decisions lie ahead. Britain's recovery so far has been hollow . Despite a much cheaper currency, exports continue to disappoint; the trade gap, at 2.2% of GDP, has hardly fallen over the past five years. Consumption props up growth figures--not a problem in itself, but worrying given that real wages, still 9% below their peak at the end of 2007, continue to fall. Debt-to-income ratios, which had been falling, are rising again. The country is borrowing its way to growth. Most troubling of all, investment has dropped in real terms by a quarter in five years, to just 13.5% of GDP in the first quarter of this year.
