However, it is clear that the regional economy has been performing poorly over a much longer period......
Note: GDP and GVA data are NOT directly comparable GDP = GVA + taxes on products - subsidies on productsSource: Office of National Statistics

With the West Midlands experiencing the lowest average annual growth in GVA per head (2000-07) of any UK region

Birmingham and Solihull make up a quarter of the regional economy
Notes: Birmingham comprises 21% & Solihull 5% of regional GVA

But recent growth has been driven by the public sector, whilst employment in the private sector has shrunk.....

And the performance of (high-value) financial & business services has been especially poor

And after very strong recent growth there are emerging signs that Solihull’s growth is now ‘plateauxing’

Birmingham especially has very high rates of worklessness, in part reflecting its demography.....

In this graph, ‘Unemployed’ are working age people who are without a job, but who are actively seeking and able to start work. ‘Economically inactive’ are working age people who are neither in employment nor unemployed

Whilst conditions are improving, forward projections suggest the recovery will be slow (and fragile)

However, Birmingham is now vulnerable to public sector cuts, affecting many ‘under-represented’ groups
