Welcome to the Octobrt 2024 issue of our newsletter.
The Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, will deliver Labour's first Budget on Wednesday 30 October.
She had referred to the upcoming Budget being a “painful” one. As a result, there had been speculation on where spending will be cut and tax raised, which may have affected consumer confidence.
However, the Chancellor’s speech at the party conference at the end of September concentrated on the positive results she expects to bring to the economy. She plans to grow public spending in real terms as she believes that investment by the government will help the economy to grow. There may be changes upcoming to the rules on government borrowing so that more investment is allowed.
Whether this means that the Budget will not be as painful as we might have been expecting is hard to know. As always, we will keep you posted on the Budget developments.
