In the lead up to the Autumn Budget on 30 October 2024, NCUB are sharing our official recommendations to the Chancellor on how best to use the Budget to kickstart economic growth.
The persistent issue of low productivity and economic growth in the UK is widely acknowledged as a multifaceted challenge deeply intertwined with various factors, including inadequate planning, skills shortages, and infrastructure deficiencies, alongside insufficient public and private investment. This challenge threatens the achievement of national missions, and undermines the Government’s principal ambition of kickstarting economic growth. We need a clear vision, delivery plan, strategic public investment, supportive policies, and effective communication.
