Abstract

This session will present some new FAI analysis on the long-term sustainability of the public finances, showing the critical role of long-term productivity growth and fiscal drag in determining the scale of the challenge facing the UK’s public finances. Joao Sousa and Mairi Spowage will lead a discussion with the audience on the new modelling, to explore the reality of the fiscal challenge we face.
