Get a clear and accessible breakdown of what to expect ahead of the UK’s Spring Statement on 3 March. Mark explores the purpose of the Spring Statement, what the Office for Budget Responsibility might reveal about the economy, and the key pressures shaping government decisions from tax receipts and public borrowing to inflation, growth and rising unemployment.
He also touches on the impact of wage and tax policy on employers, why youth unemployment is becoming a growing concern, and whether higher taxes risk holding back economic growth.
This short episode sets the scene before the Chancellor’s update and highlights what indicators to watch as the next budget approaches.
