[Today] In her Spring Forecast, the Chancellor will set out how
the Government has the right economic plan for Britain, by
cutting the cost of living, cutting borrowing and growing the
economy to build a strong and secure economy.
She will stress the importance of ensuring stability in our
economy in an increasingly uncertain world. Reflecting on the
decisions the Government has taken, Reeves will point to already
falling inflation and interest rate cuts which are easing the
cost of living pressures on family finances.
Speaking in parliament later today, the Chancellor will
say:
“This government has the right economic plan for our country … in
a world in that has become yet more uncertain.
“Stability in the public finances, investment in infrastructure
and reform to our economy.
“Building growth not on the contribution of a few people or a few
parts of the country, but in every part of Britain with a state
that doesn't stand back, but steps up."
She will go on to say:
“Because of the decisions we have already taken, we have a
stronger and more secure economy. Inflation and interest rates
falling. And in every part of Britain, working people are better
off.”
