IMF likely to renew call for relaxation of UK austerity – FT.com.
On this occasion, I tend to support the views of the IMF. Personally, I strongly favor fiscal stimulation, preferably in the form of massive incentives in favor of capital spending; I also endorse public sector capital spending in properly costed and risk assessed capital projects.
What do others think?

NIES reporting 0.8% GDP increase between February and April. Barratt Homes reporting the strongest housing market for 5 years.
