Description

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, we discuss the necessary ingredients to support economic growth.

 

It’s a clear priority for the government. An industrial strategy is due to be published in the coming months – with eight key sectors for the UK already identified – and reviews of taxation and regulation are also taking place. As the Spring Statement arrives on 26 March, our panel explores whether government policy is pulling all the right levers.

 

Host Philippa Lamb is joined by John Boulton, ICAEW Director of Policy; John Godfrey, Managing Director of Public Affairs and Research at TheCityUK; Anne Allibone, fractional CFO; and Peter Arnold, EY UK Chief Economist.
