The spring statement of the British government was another “mini” budget. The government was unnecessary and likely to be unnecessary and likely for the self-declared tasks of stability, reform and growth.

Creating a fixed macroeconomic environment requires stability in financial policy. Therefore, the Chancellor is rightly committed to a one-year financial event. However, the rigidness built in its financial framework in response to the 2022 “mini” budget of the 2022 budget, the risk of this goal.

Financial rules are said to be always meeting. Last year, with a limited financial title built in the budget, even a modest amount of economic news created angry assumptions on financial responses. This is confirmed: Defense expenses and significant departments to reduce external aid and the significant department of the summer statement have worsened financial predictions.

With the fiscal title, the indefinite and macroeconomic background will result in an uncertain, meeting financial rules ongoing assumptions and perhaps the future “mini” budgets. The announcement of the real-time treasury monitoring of the departmental expenditures can add to this hyperactivity. This degree is not suitable for financial delicate regulation macroeconomic stability.

The formation of financial forecasts in this environment helps to count angels in Pinheads. After that, a framework that reflexes the financial decisions, can only complicate the uncertainty, as it is. It needs less stiff and reflexive financial framework to hydrate this hypothesis.

Loyalty will help the annual assessment of financial rules. The placement of tolerance groups around, as the target of inflation is another choice. GDP +/- 1 percent of the percentage with tolerance groups – the average financial title in the past – a spring statement, it would be a financial response.

Several doubts need to raise low productivity for growth and increase low productivity for growth and include low productivity for growth. However, using the spending violates the spirit and implementation of both reforms for the engineer.

Take the welfare of the cuts between the largest. The justification here is both a praised and potential growth friend. A benefit system that deterrents people from looking for work or training is not around 9.4mn, but not to flatter unemployment statistics, but prevented growth. Changing incentives can remove the secret unemployment and stimulate employment.

However, the transition to the work for the inactive, it is difficult to intimidate, research, comfort and long-term support measures around business health. Some of them are in place. Although 1 billion pounds are separated, they will not touch these parties.

Moreover, success requires a healthy business market created by roles with the comfort and skill mixed with the most remanisee. Quick, especially vacancies, especially in the starting work of retail and hospitality, are none of these conditions.

Thus, in search of work, it will strengthen welfare reforms in search of less jobs. That is, the early assessment of the OBR. They risk being risky as such a well-being for the well-being of acute income loss for potential revenues. The Resolution Foundation estimates that this parliament can be £ 500 by the end.

In hurricane fiscal fences, the expression of spring, otherwise good-meaning well-being reform is stabbed optically and fundamentally. An increase in growth tails that induce a reform is becoming the risks. This is undesirable in an economy that has already been facing trade and geopolitical uncertainty.

Some claimed to have a hair shirt to seize the markets. Although the global markets are really fragile, the fear of the garden market is to be the excess of the bogeyman. First of all, how vigorable desires, stability and growth. Growth and stability were preached here, but we did not practice.

Increased 2022 trauma, England, a financial base of Infecture, created a lack of exaggerated fear and ambition of material markets. “Not a Liz Truss” does not do growth strategy. This year the changed geopolitical scene gave a chance to reset a maxy. This opportunity is not lost, but the summer statement was a mini-speech.
