Abstract: Growth rates, inflation and interest rates are determined simultaneously in the UK. Depreciations of Sterling pounds contribute to the growth by enhancing international competitiveness. Inflation from the growth of money, depreciation of Sterling and higher interest rates, impacts adversely on it. London being a hub of the global financial market higher interest rates are persistent and coexist with greater liquidity of the financial system, making money supply non-neutral in the short run as in Desai and Weber (1988), Fisher and Whitley (2000), Mellis and Whittaker (2000), Wallis (1969, 1989) for the UK and Sargent (1976) and Fair (1993).
