Recession tracker

The word 'tracker' raises my blood pressure - a series of blunders by my mortage broker resulted in me moving from a 'tracker' mortage to a fixed rate mortage some 5 months ago. The dramatic decrease in interest rates since then is having little impact on the family finances!

That aside, the BBC's 'recession tracker' is a great resource for economics and business students. It gives the latest data and news on GDP, unemployment, interest rates, house prices and repossessions on a single page.

Check it out here.
