United Kingdom ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is the second largest economy in Europe after Germany. Over the past two decades, the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil resources, but its oil and natural gas reserves are declining and the UK became a net importer of energy in 2005. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. After emerging from recession in 1992, Britain's economy enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record during which time growth outpaced most of Western Europe. In 2008, however, the global financial crisis hit the economy particularly hard, due to the importance of its financial sector. Sharply declining home prices, high consumer debt, and the global economic slowdown compounded Britain's economic problems, pushing the economy into recession in the latter half of 2008 and prompting the then BROWN (Labour) government to implement a number of measures to stimulate the economy and stabilize the financial markets; these include nationalizing parts of the banking system, temporarily cutting taxes, suspending public sector borrowing rules, and moving forward public spending on capital projects. Facing burgeoning public deficits and debt levels, in 2010 the CAMERON-led coalition government (between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) initiated a five-year austerity program, which aimed to lower London's budget deficit from over 10% of GDP in 2010 to nearly 1% by 2015. In November 2011, Chancellor of the Exchequer George OSBORNE announced additional austerity measures through 2017 because of slower-than-expected economic growth and the impact of the euro-zone debt crisis. The CAMERON government raised the value added tax from 17.5% to 20% in 2011. It has pledged to reduce the corporation tax rate to 21% by 2014. The Bank of England (BoE) implemented an asset purchase program of up to £375 billion (approximately $605 billion) as of December 2012. During times of economic crisis, the BoE coordinates interest rate moves with the European Central Bank, but Britain remains outside the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In 2012, weak consumer spending and subdued business investment weighed on the economy. GDP fell 0.1%, and the budget deficit remained stubbornly high at 7.7% of GDP. Public debt continued to increase.

Overview World beating Production Switching whatever your requirements Overview Full Range How to buy In the beginning there was Kahuna The world's first true multi-format switcher. A striking technical achievement that took the world of production switching by storm. It redefined what was possible, setting new benchmarks for others to strive for, and perhaps most importantly of all - it was the precursor for what was to follow .... A Revolution occurs in Production Switching Kahuna 360 True 1080p processing, 3D DVE effects and up to a staggering 42 keyers, notionally spread across up to 6 M/Es, the Kahuna 360 is the world's most powerful production switcher. However, what really sets it apart from it's peers is it's flexibility. With MakeM/E technology the processing power can be re-assigned to create virtual M/Es, allowing a single mainframe to operate as up to 16, effectively independent switchers, each potentially with their own control surface. This unique ability allows you to tailor your Kahuna 360 to your exact requirements now - and adapt your Kahuna 360 to any requirements you may have in the future. Kahuna 360 sets the standard at the pinnacle of production switching, but the revolution doesn't end there ... The Revolution radiates through the world of Live Production Kahuna 360 Compact Based on the groundbreaking technology of Kahuna 360, the Compact version retains the core functionality that makes Kahuna 360 uniquely powerful and flexible, bringing the technology to more applications within live production, by virtue of both it's smaller size and lower price. Now you can have industry leading switcher performance even where space is limited, such as in OB applications or flyaways. Kahuna 360 Compact has brought industry leading performance to the mid size production arena, but that's not the end of the story ... The Transformation of the industry continues Kahuna Flare Breaking new ground as a mid-level switcher, Kahuna Flare brings industry leading technology to the most cost sensitive environments, enabling less 'effects-heavy' applications to benefit from Kahuna production power and format flexibility. Supporting full SD, HD and 1080p production, our Kahuna Flare packages offer a simple and elegant, mid-range switcher solution. Kahuna Customers don't just buy a switcher - they buy into an ideology Kahuna Customer Services The Kahuna customer experience doesn't end with delivery and installation. Kahuna Customers Services, encompassing outstanding care packages, training, system health checks and the community experience within Kahuna Club, make living with your Kahuna a uniquely satisfying experience. Kahuna 360 The world's most advanced and flexible production switcher - offering concurrent multi-format operation, allowing SD, HD and even 1080p sources to be used seamlessly within the same production, delivering multiple outputs in SD, HD and 1080p. Kahuna 360 Compact Kahuna 360 production power is now available in a smaller frame, directly aimed at mid size production. 1080p, 3D DVE, MakeM/E flexibility - it's all there, in just 6RU, conveniently packaged with a control surface and GUI control panel. Kahuna The original multi-format production switcher. Seamless integration of SD and HD source material into the same production. Kahuna 1M/E A 3RU, entry level variant of the highly successful Kahuna multi-format production switcher. Kahuna CF+ 2M/E 2.5M/Es of Kahuna multi-format production switching in a 6RU frame. Kahuna Software Creating elegant and enhanced live production workflows in conjunction with Kahuna production switchers, including the Galaxy Event List for efficient workflows within advanced productions. Kahuna Mosart By integrating Mosart with Snell's leading Kahuna live production switcher, fully automated news productions become streamlined future-proof solutions. Kahuna Club The Kahuna Club is a one-stop support resource for owners and users of the Snell Kahuna production switcher. It's here that we bring together all things Kahuna - including the latest news, a knowledge base and a discussion forum. Find out who your local sales contact is here.
