The government’s executive summary of the budget boldly recalls the difficult decisions taken to restore economic stability in the 2022 Autumn statement to lay a foundation for long-term growth. The 2023 Spring Budget is billed as building on this foundation, and delivering on three of the Prime Minister’s five key priorities, namely:
- to halve inflation
- grow the economy; and
- get debt falling.
