Where Next for the UK Economy? | 24.02.2015

Five years after the last election, Britain is finally seeing solid growth, falling unemployment and a declining deficit. On the other hand, our productivity remains subdued, real wages have been squeezed and austerity is far from over. Our economic policy choices in the next few years really matter. To mark the launch of our Economics Manifesto, Policy Exchange is hosting a panel debate on the big questions that will shape the economy over the next five years and beyond How do we ensure that the benefits of rising growth go to everyone? How do we finish the job of closing the deficit, and where should the savings come from? How do we take advantage of Britain's unique opportunities, and create the most innovative and competitive economy in the world?
