    Near zero interest rates and quantitative easing are only just around the corner.

    Comment from Stuart Porteous, Head of RBS Group Economics:

    “Few people – and certainly not the MPC – question the challenges the UK faces in 2009. As rates head towards zero, policymakers
    will be forced to embark on ever more unorthodox measures to get the economy moving again. Listen carefully and you can almost
    hear the printing presses being cranked up.”

    There is the city, and then…? This country is so screwed.
