A combination of weaker UK growth, higher yields and more defence spending make for a difficult Spring Fiscal Forecast for Rachel Reeves. In this special preview, our economists will highlight what to watch for in the Chancellor’s upcoming statement to Parliament in the context of our forecasts for UK GDP and the latest estimates of our UK Fiscal Headroom Monitor.
This 20-minute online briefing will give you an opportunity to get answers from the team on the UK’s economic outlook, the government’s fiscal position and the implications for UK markets as they address key issues, including:
- How much Reeves will need to tighten fiscal policy to avoid breaking her rules;
- If further tightening will be tilted towards tax hikes or spending cuts;
- What this could mean for interest rates and the financial markets.
