Artiklens hovedpointer- Børsens chefredaktør Bjarne Corydon anbefaler denne artikel fra Financial Times fordi:
- I artiklen kortlægger FT’s Martin Wolf den smalle sti den nyvalgte Labour- premierminister, Keir Starmers, må gå på frem mod sin første finanslov.
- Hans finansminister, Rachel Reeves skal gøre det næsten umulige: Lukke et stort hul i statskassen og samtidig skubbe gang i væksten. Og i baggrunden lurer hele tiden risikoen for et økonomisk kollaps.
In her Budget due on October 30, Rachel Reeves, the chancellor of the exchequer, has to achieve four tasks. First and most obviously, she has to give hope to her party and the country that better times are coming. Second, she has to deliver the prospect of improved public services. Third, she must achieve the latter without ignoring the constraints she is under — not just those created by Labour’s promises, but, more significantly, those created by the UK’s vulnerabilities. Fourth and most important, she must offer a credible story on growth. Without that, little will work.
