While the Office for Budget Responsibility predicts the UK will AVOID a recession, living standards are forecasted to plummet.
Typical household disposable incomes are on course to be lower by the end of 2027 than they were pre-pandemic. Analysis from the Resolution Foundation found that even if the slow growth of the past decade continued, incomes would still be £1,800 higher than projected for 2027. Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, said: “Jeremy Hunt’s first Budget was a much bigger affair than many expected, combining improvements to the dire economic and fiscal outlook with a significant policy package aimed at boosting longer-term growth.He added: "We are investing too little and growing too slowly. Our citizens’ living standards are stagnant.
"We ask them to pay higher taxes, while cutting public services. No one Budget could turn that around, but it’s time Britain did.”
