The Budget Decoded

The UK Budget was expected to address significant fiscal challenges and market concerns. Not only does the Chancellor face a potential £51bn black hole in public finances, but the Labour Government has staked its economic credibility on delivering growth while managing public finances under tight constraints. Tax rises, recent policy U-turns on welfare spending, deep spending cuts and government bond prices remain in the headlines.

This Financial Times webinar, hosted in partnership with Soldo, provided timely insights, post-budget, to help businesses and finance teams lead with confidence. Our expert panel went beyond the headlines and explored how to ensure the measures outlined will encourage the clarity, stability and stimulus needed to unlock sustainable growth.

As labour-market and payroll reforms loom, how can businesses stay competitive, retain talent and adapt to shifting cost dynamics? 

Investment, innovation and infrastructure

From infrastructure and R&D to green and regional incentives, how can firms use technology and AI to drive productivity and sustainable growth?
