Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves responds to OECD Economic Outlook forecast

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said: 

“Growth is our number one priority, and the OECD upgrade will mean the UK is the fastest growing European economy in the G7 over the next three years. That is only the start. Growth only matters if it's matched by more money in people's pockets.

“That is why we protected people's payslips from higher taxes at the Budget and are determined to deliver growth that benefits households and improves living standards. This government will get our economy growing, with our National Wealth Fund, reforming the remits of our regulators and pension mega funds to attract better investment, as well as reforming our planning laws - all so that we can rebuild Britain for good.”
