BRIEFING 07:
Emergency Budget

RELEASE DATE: 24/06/2010

Amidst a climate of serious concern about the macroeconomic risks associated with a loss of investor confidence in the UK, the Emergency Budget sets out a five year plan adding £40bn fiscal contraction to the £73bn already budgeted. What does this mean for Greater Manchester? This latest briefing from the Commission for the New Economy provides an overview of the Emergency Budget’s measures from a local perspective, including how they will impact Greater Manchester’s economy and what are the challenges and opportunities arising from this new fiscal environment.
