• Q3 productivity (output per hour) +0.6% vs 0.0% prior q/q, +0.3 vs -0.6% prior y/y
  • Labour costs 0.5% vs 0.2% prior q/q. +0.2% vs -0.5% prior y/y

Going in the right direction but productivity remains below the pre-crisis levels by around 2%. Strong gains in wages and productivity early in 2015 will bring rate rise expectations back from later in the year.
