Watch the event
Rachel Reeves’ first budget promises to be one of the most consequential in years. Shortly after the chancellor addresses parliament, IfG experts examined her announcements and make sense of Reeves’ plans for the economy.
What decisions has she taken on new fiscal rules, tax measures and public services? What does this budget mean for the government’s growth mission? Does Reeves have a credible plan for fixing the public spending “black hole”? And what does this budget reveal about this government’s priorities?
The panel included:
- Stuart Hoddinott, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government
- Thomas Pope, Deputy Chief Economist at the Institute for Government
- Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.
