'Evidence on the economic cycle' explains the Treasury's approach to measuring the economic cycle and draws on evidence from the economic indicators monitored by the Treasury to inform the latest assessment of the cyclical position of the economy. This paper builds on previous analysis of the economic cycle published by the Treasury, in particular the 2005 publications 'Evidence on the UK economic cycle' (July 2005) and the 'Technical note on cyclical indicators' (December 2005)
