BoE's Dale warns of further fall in UK living standards

LONDON (Reuters) - Britons' living standards are likely to fall further, and there is little the Bank of England can do about it, the British central bank's chief economist warned on Wednesday.

Spencer Dale said Britain's economy still had further to go to adjust to the aftermath of the financial crisis, and that a mix of slow wage growth and stubborn inflation is likely while that happens.

"Monetary policy has only a limited role to play as an economy adjusts to these types of real shocks," he said in a speech to economists in London.

"The (BoE) can try to pick the least costly route, but ultimately it can't avoid the journey being long and painful," he said at the event, hosted by MNI Deutsche Boerse.

The BoE stopped buying more government bonds to stimulate Britain's economy last month, and economists polled by Reuters are fairly evenly divided on whether it will ever resume them.

Dale's remarks come after a mixed set of labour market data earlier on Thursday. This showed a record number of Britons in work, but a rate of unemployment that is still high at 7.8 percent, and wage growth slowing to 1.7 percent - well below inflation at 2.7 percent.

Britain has recovered much more slowly than most other big economies since the financial crisis, and government forecasts suggest it will tip back into contraction during the current quarter, just three months after it came out of recession.

But Dale said the amount of slack in Britain's economy was not a reliable guide to inflation pressures.

British inflation has been above its 2 percent target since December 2009, and the BoE does not forecast it will fall below target until the second half of 2014.

"The stickiness of inflation is a by-product of the real adjustment that our economy has been forced to make," Dale said.

"Looking ahead, it seems likely that this adjustment process is not yet complete and so the stickiness in inflation may persist for a while yet."

GILT COUPON CONCERNS

Dale's comments about the limits of monetary policy echo closely those given by Governor Mervyn King in a speech in New York on Monday, but he struck a different note on another issue to have hit the central bank in recent weeks.

Shortly before November's policy decision, the government told the BoE it would take back gilt coupons paid to the central bank as a result of its previous 375 billion pounds of asset purchases - something roughly equivalent to 35 billion pounds of new asset purchases.

King brushed aside public concerns about the deal being a threat to the BoE's independence, but Dale was more sympathetic to this view, even if the transaction had not affected his decision to oppose an increase in asset purchases in November.

"The flows of money between the Bank and Her Majesty's Treasury that are likely to result from this decision are large, very large," Dale said. "We should have our eyes open that large financial flows between the fiscal and monetary authorities may raise understandable concerns."

Particular problems may come at a time when the BoE wants to raise interest rates, which would both increase government borrowing costs and require the government to pay money to the BoE under the terms of the complex deal, Dale added.

Dispatch From Morocco: ?Excuse Me, Aren?t We About to Start a War Here??

During the five days I?ve spent in Morocco at the Marrakech International Film Festival, not a single person I?ve spoken with knows that a few days after the festivities close, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton arrives here to meet with King Mohammed VI. The next day Clinton will attend the Friends of Syria conference, at the same venue that?s housing the festival.

Even with NBC News citing reports from unnamed U.S. officials that Syria?s President Bashar al-Assad has loaded missiles with sarin nerve gas, everyone in Marrakech was more concerned about attending a dinner hosted by Dior.

A lot of people in the movie business?George Clooney and Angelina Jolie are just two?prove by where they put their money, their mouths and their time that they care about politics and human rights. But those aren?t people I?m running into in Marrakech. Remember the scene in Bruno where Sacha Baron Cohen?s titular character goes to see a charity-advisement public-relations firm?

MORE: Syria: No Warrant Needed (Video)

?Climate change is very hot right now,? the PR hand said.

I may be paraphrasing here, but really: Why is there no market for Save Syria T-shirts?

Mingling among a mix of the international film crowd has shoved me right up against the hard dichotomy between fantasy and reality. I?m seeing red carpets galore, princely dinners, paparazzi, dozens of screenings and hotels nicer than Dubai?s best. But no one?s talking about NATO approving Patriot Missiles being deployed on the Turkish border of Syria.

Yet Morocco is at the center of geo-politics right now. On top of a visit by Secretary Clinton and the Syria conference, the country is chairing the U.N. Security Council this month.

In September, the U.S. announced a ?strategic partnership? with the kingdom. That proffer of partnership seemed to have excited visions of a democratized process back home to Deputy Foreign Minister Yousef Amrani, who told the Washington Post: ?We would like to include new players?civil society [leaders], business leaders. We want a unique . . . mode of cooperation, consultation and understanding. We think we can be a model.?

Now, back to reality. Let?s get this out there: Morocco is a closed society, an authoritarian monarchy. Average Moroccans aren?t even allowed into the nice hotels with Westerners (much like Cuba, another horrible-for-humans system).

A group of young Moroccans, all dressed in amazing tracksuits, stood waiting for stars to arrive and walk the festival red carpet. ?None of those people want us to be free? said one. ?The French would still control us if they could. The West thinks Arabs aren?t worthy of freedom.?

During the Arab Spring, King Mohammed VI acted when protests erupted, promising constitutional changes. The king made good in August 2011: Power over the government council was transferred from the throne to the prime minister.

These reforms are steps in the right direction, but the king still heads the council that approves all judges. He exerts absolute control over the military and religious issues. Secretary Clinton should push for more.

Much of the buzz at the Festival has been about Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow?s film reenacting the killing of Osama bin Laden, a production that the Obama administration cooperated on. If only these people buzzing also cared about the politics behind the movie. At a moment when the Mideast is in throes of war and revolution, Americans are tuning out. We?re back to the oblivious pre-9/11 mindset.

Who cares about Syria, right? Well, if the regime uses chemical weapons, as reports have it, then America will likely be at war. An estimated 75,000 U.S. troops would be needed to secure the chemical weapons.

The other night I spoke with a group of young Moroccans, all dressed in amazing tracksuits. They stood waiting for Bollywood stars to arrive and walk the festival red carpet.

These boys are called Ultras?hardcore soccer fans. In Egypt, they were at the forefront of the revolution and are still protesting now.

?We like our king,? a young Moroccan named Abdul told me. ?But we are ready for democracy.?

Looking at a gaggle of French actors and actresses making their way into the festival, he added, ?None of those people want us to be free. The French would still control us if they could. The West thinks Arabs aren?t worthy of freedom.?

Sadly, my experience here somewhat confirms that. Almost 10 years after Operation Iraqi Freedom, news of NATO upping the ante on Syria and the perils of containing Assad?s WMD have yet to become talking points among average Westerners.

Have the recent allegations that President Assad is preparing sarin gas weapons brought Syria into your conversation? Say how or how not in COMMENTS.

Syria envoy Brahimi to meet Clinton, Lavrov on Thursday

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet international Syria mediator Lakhdar Brahimi in Dublin on Thursday to try to put a U.N. peace process for Syria back on track, diplomatic sources said.

The talks come ahead of a meeting of the Western-backed "Friends of Syria" group in Marrakech next week which is expected to boost support for rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"We have been trying hard to work with Russia to stop the bloodshed in Syria and start a political transition towards a post-Assad Syrian future and very much support what Lakhdar Brahimi is trying to do," Clinton told a news conference ahead of the meeting.

"Events on the ground in Syria are accelerating and we see that in many different ways - the pressure against the regime in and around Damascus seems to be increasing. We've made it clear what our position is with respect to chemical weapons and I think we will discuss that and many other aspects."

Assad's deputy foreign minister said on Thursday that Western powers were whipping up fears of a fateful move to the use of chemical weapons in Syria's civil war as a "pretext for intervention".

In Moscow, a senior Russian lawmaker and ally of Vladimir Putin described Syria's government as being incapable of doing its job properly, in a sign Russia is trying to distance itself from Assad.

Clinton held a bilateral meeting with Lavrov ahead of the talks with Brahimi, which are set to take place after 12:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT) on the sidelines of an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) gathering.

Brahimi also met separately with Lavrov.

A Western diplomatic source hinted that at least some change may be forthcoming from Russia.

"I don't really know what may come out of the meeting, but I'd expect something based on the Geneva agreement as I cannot imagine Russia now changing completely on Assad. So I am not expecting anything radically new, rather a new version of Geneva maybe," the source said.

The Geneva Declaration, which was agreed when Kofi Annan was international mediator, called for a transitional administration but did not specify what role, if any, Assad would have.

RUSSIAN, CHINESE OPPOSITION

Rebels have made advances across Syria in recent weeks, despite punishing air raids, and have stepped up fighting outside Damascus, where fighting raged on Wednesday in an arc of suburbs on the capital's eastern outskirts.

Assad's family has ruled Syria for 42 years and the Syrian president has vowed to fight to the death in a conflict that has killed an estimated 38,000 people and risks sucking in other countries.

Opposition sources said on Wednesday rebels, riven by deep divisions and rivalries, were trying to restructure their leadership across Syria in an effort to secure foreign funding for their armed revolt.

Brahimi has called for world powers to issue a U.N. Security Council resolution based on a June deal they reached to set up a transitional government in a bid to end the bloodshed in Syria.

The United States and its allies want Assad to step down but are at odds with China and Russia over what role he should have in the process and whether the U.N. Security Council should pass tough measures to punish non-compliance by the Assad government.

Annan's plan also called for Syrians to be allowed to demonstrate freely, the release of political prisoners and an immediate halt to violence. But it did not resolve the question of arms sales to Syria and a host of other issues.

As violence continued in Syria unabated, Western countries proposed a new resolution at the U.N. Security Council in July aimed at putting direct pressure on Assad by threatening more sanctions if his troops did not stop using heavy weapons and withdraw troops from towns and cities within 10 days.

However, Russia and China for the third time vetoed the resolution saying it represented a direct effort to interfere in Syria's internal affairs.

Annan stepped down in August, saying divisions in the Security Council made his plan unworkable.

The United States and its allies said the plan failed because of Assad's refusal to abide by its provisions and Russia and China's refusal to hold Assad accountable at the Security Council.

The United States said it would focus its efforts on rallying support outside the U.N. system for more help for Syria's opposition.

Crude Oil Futures Hover Above $86 Ahead Of Nonfarm Jobs Report

Light sweet crude for January delivery gained 0.42 percent or 36 cents to $86.62 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange during the Asian trading hours. Brent crude oil futures for the January delivery rose 0.30 percent or 32 cents to $107.35 a barrel on the ICE futures exchange in London.

Investors are eagerly waiting for the U.S. Department of Labor's monthly non-farm payrolls report, which is the most closely watched economic statement pertaining to the job market and a key gauge for the direction and pace of the economic recovery.

The much awaited U.S. jobs report is due to be released before markets open Friday and is expected to show that the world?s largest economy added 80,000 jobs last month, following a 171,000-gain in October. The unemployment rate is likely to edge up to 8 percent in November from 7.9 percent in the previous month.

?The November payroll figures are expected to show the negative impact of Hurricane Sandy. Our best guess is that the storm-related job losses may have totaled 75K, implying an underlying trend gain of 155K,? a note from Credit Agricole stated.

Oil prices are heading for their biggest weekly loss since late October with U.S. crude declining nearly 3 percent and Brent down nearly 3.6 percent in the week, as concerns over the?euro zone economic outlook and a looming fiscal crisis in the U.S. weighed on the sentiment.

Light sweet crude for the January delivery declined 1.8 percent or $1.62 and settled at $86.26 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange while Brent crude for the January delivery declined 1.6 percent and settled at $107.03 a barrel.

The European Central Bank Thursday slashed its euro zone growth forecasts for 2012 and 2013. The ECB lowered its 2012 growth forecast from -0.4 to -0.6 percent and currently expects 2013 growth forecast to be in a range of 0.9 percent contraction and a 0.3 percent growth, down from its prior estimate of 0.4 percent contraction and 1.4 percent growth.

"The weaker ECB story will weigh on Brent prices and ECB President Mario Draghi's comments will weigh on expectations. The big picture is that Europe is weak, U.S. is undecided and China is strong, so the news flow from these three will be what determines prices,? Jonathan Barret, chief executive officer at BarratBulletin, a Sydney-based research firm, told Reuters.

Economic data from the U.S. was mixed during the week and is not helping the outlook either. The U.S. manufacturing activity declined to the lowest level in more than three years in November while the services sector grew in the same month. ?

The Institute of Supply Management's U.S. manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index declined to 49.5 in November, the lowest level since July 2009, from 51.7 in October and also fell short of Reuters' expectation of 51.3 reading, highlighting the worrying outlook of the U.S. recovery. Meanwhile, traders continued to remain wary of the ongoing negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff.
