On-demand webcast | Ahead of the Budget: Policy, economics and the global picture

With fiscal headroom tightening, a heavily committed tax base and ongoing economic and geopolitical pressures limiting the Chancellor’s options, this Budget is likely to have significant consequences for how UK businesses plan, invest and grow.

This Budget will be shaped by more than domestic policy alone. Persistent fiscal pressures, higher borrowing costs and geopolitical uncertainty continue to influence the choices available to the Chancellor, while global developments are creating additional challenges and opportunities for businesses.

Our economists, policy and industry specialists will discuss:

► The spending and tax options in play
► What the US mid-terms could mean for markets and trade
► How the Middle East conflict is shaping energy and inflation
► Why bond yields are tightening the fiscal squeeze
