          So what's it really all about?

          Press | New Economics Foundation


          Inclusion of how much home-owners would pay if they actually rented boosted UK GDP in 2014 by £158bn – a 8.9% share
          Rent and “imputed rent” has almost doubled as a share of UK GDP since 1985 to 12.3% in 2014, overtaking manufacturing

          The UK’s figure for rent as a share of GDP is the highest of the G7 group of major economies, undermining claims of real economic recovery.

          “Imputed rent” is a hypothetical calculation of how much owner-occupiers would pay if they actually paid rent to a landlord. Its inclusion means that rising property prices directly contribute to what we measure as GDP.

          Inclusion of this imputed rent for the UK alone added an astonishing £158bn to the official GDP figure for 2014 – a 8.9% share. But none of this is real economic activity. It is a statistical convenience that artificially boosts the GDP figure.


          And that folks is what the immigrant, house building, house price, ponzi scheme is all about....

            How long before this starts being taxed as "imputed income" (as it was until the 1960s I think) ?

              How? A day or so earlier came this report: Shortage of skilled workers holding back efforts to tackle Britain
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                "imputed rent" boosts GDP to highest in G7. Economy fixed, I fank you, Osborne and Dave take a bow and shag a pigs head.

                  I wonder what would happen to RPI and CPI if they added rent/mortgage repayments in.

                  Including Inputted rent into GDP but not CPI is disingenuous.
