Charts from the Bank of England

The Bank of England's latest Inflation Report (August 2006) has just been published: it's here. Of course,e veryone should read that report for its content but I want to demonstrate just a few of the charts and graphs that the Bank uses these days.

The graphics that follow are taken from the August 2006 Inflation Report from the Bank and are largely presented without comment. I am showing them, though, for you to see a variety of ways in which you can present information in a graphical format.

I have included the Chart 5.6 to show that scales sometimes need to be broken: in this case the horizontal axis. There are people in the world of business studies and accounting who think that observing the proper rules of charting and graphing are a luxury: here at OxBowBusiness we don't!
