This week Jane Parry, Group Chief Marketing Officer, is joined by Tom Hibbert, Multi-Asset Strategist in our Chief Investment Office to explore UK fiscal policy and what it means for growth, markets and your investments.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Why further tax rises could actually reduce long-term growth by discouraging investment and business activity
• How the UK government could grow the economy without large upfront tax cuts
• Last week’s market pause, which looks like healthy consolidation rather than a shift in trend.

With UK fiscal policy clearly shaping investment prospects, this is essential listening for anyone wanting a clear, concise view on the risks and opportunities for UK investors.

If you have any feedback on this episode, the podcast overall or questions regarding future topics, please email coffeebreak@canaccord.com. We’d love to hear from you.
