I've opted to vote for years.
In the short term, I think there will be some signs of hope in the second half of the year.
This will turn to despair when the inflation starts to kick in. Also when the country realises that the financial services industry that it has relied on to generate so much business in London over the past twenty years doesn't return and sets up in the Middle and Far East.
Oh, it did also occur to me the other day that me might end up finding out that the good times over the past twenty years turn out to have been propped up by North Sea Oil. Apparently that is running out too.Comment

I think the stock markets will start to recover in 2010 and the general economy in 2011. But house prices will not recover until 2013.
Of course those are only accurate to 1%. 1% of 2010 ~ 20 so should be before 2030.

I think 10 years minimum.
I don't think anyone can argue that our finances are in their worst state in history - and still getting worse.
Thanks Gordon. Who the f**k let you loose on the controls?Comment

It will inevitably be years because the high taxes and interest rates that will follow the dithering on public sector cuts will continue to weigh on the growth of the economy.Comment

All they are trying to do is re-inflate the asset bubble, so the whole thing will happen all over again.

IMO decades. The levels of cash being thrown about are just scary. Cannot see any green shoots here and doubt we will for some time to come.Comment

What do we class as 'over'? When we're in a period of economic growth again or when we return to past boom-times? Hard to think recession conditions (GDP shrinking IIRC) can continue for a long time, but easy to imagine it will be years before things recover properly.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
