Growth Commission
Christian May, Editor-in-Chief, City AMEminently sensible, doable, transformative pro-growth measures that would inject some much-needed dynamism into economy while at the same time sending a very clear signal that Britain recognises the urgency of the situation and is prepared to be bold.
The Chancellor took welcome steps to shore up the public finances at the Budget, but Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts show this is not enough to shift the dial on growth. The UK risks experiencing another lost decade if action is not taken now to turn around our economic performance and unleash the private sector’s animal spirits. Doubling down on London’s existing strengths by addressing regulatory and other roadblocks holding the city back will be vital if the Government is to turn its growth ambition into action.
