UK Fiscal Policy Changes
Recent updates in the UK fiscal policy reveal significant cuts to the welfare system following the Spring Statement delivered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This announcement coincides with UK inflation rates coming in below expectations, with February's Consumer Price Index recorded at 2.8%, a decrease from January's 3%. Despite this positive trend, the inflation rate still exceeds the Bank of England's target of 2%, indicating ongoing economic challenges. These policy adjustments signal a shift in the government's approach to managing economic pressures while attempting to stimulate consumer confidence.
