Chancellor Response to the IMF's Article IV Surveillance Report

Chancellor Rachel Reeves responded to the IMF's Article IV Surveillance Report.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves said: 

“Today's IMF report confirms that the choices we've taken have ensured Britain's economic recovery is underway, and that our plans will tackle the deep-rooted economic challenges that we inherited in the face of global headwinds.

“Our fiscal rules allow us to confront those challenges by investing in Britain's renewal. We're committing billions of pounds into improving transport connections, providing record funding for affordable homes, as well as backing major projects like Sizewell C to drive economic growth. There's more to do, and that's why we're slashing unnecessary red tape and unblocking investment to let British businesses thrive and put more money in working people's pockets.”
