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....Comment

Including Inputted rent into GDP but not CPI is disingenuous.Comment
