On Wednesday 26 March, Chancellor Rachel Reeves held her first Spring Statement.
Committing to a single “fiscal event” per year, the Chancellor used her Statement to provide an update on the government’s spending plans, accompanied by a fiscal forecast from the OBR.
As expected, tax changes did not feature and the Chancellor was quick to point out that the much needed stability will be funded by tax measures from Autumn Budget.
Pledging to secure Britain’s future and boost economic growth, the Chancellor announced a raft of spending measures that she says will boost the UK economy by 1.0% this year.
