Following today’s Mini Budget from new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, we have prepared a round-up of some of todays’ key announcements...
Today has seen a real sea change in economic orthodoxy. The Chancellor has announced tax cuts to stimulate economic growth and release potential in the economy. It is the biggest tax cutting budget for 50 years and a massive economic shake-up and cutting of regulations, with estimates that the Government will borrow up to £45 billion to pay for tax cuts.
The markets saw the pound take an instant hit at the announcements – hitting a 37-year low against the dollar. Warnings come that interest rates could double to over 5% within a year.
The Government estimates 31 million people will be £170 a year better off with today’s announcements.
