"The private sector economy continues to follow a broadly stagnant path, with first-quarter GDP looking likely to remain sluggish following a 0.2% rise at the end of 2015. The combination of weak demand conditions and strong competitive pressures saw firms' output prices cut at the sharpest rate in over a year, pointing to continued downward pressure on inflation," the Senior Economist at Markit Jack Kennedy said.
