The Spring Statement of Rachel Reeves is expected to last about 25 minutes on Wednesday, but he will have a lot of bad news to fit him. The problem with the Chancellor is, over the next few months, issues may be worse.

Reeves will keep his statement to the members of parliament and at the point, but it will be written in red ink. He is expected to reveal that lazy economic growth and growing orrow spending have forced the Treasury to get a financial repair job to reach £ 15BN.

Reeves will publish two politically toxic documents; The first one is expected to have a darkest of the office for budget responsibility, which is expected to turn Britain’s expected growth in 2021 to about 2 percent to 5 percent.

According to the forecasts, the £ 9.9bn headroom against Reeves £ 9.9bn headroom-for which he has to balance the current expenditure with the tax receipt between 2029-30-he kept about $ 4 billion, according to the forecasts.

In the Wellter of Economic Info, how will Reeve reveal an official impact evaluation 5 billion to cut welfare Sitting behind him in the House of Commons announced last week will affect the life of the concerned labor parliamentarians.

Then it is expected that more than $ 5 billion will be cut for public expenditure, the shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith is seeking “Reeves” overseeing the stiffness, seeing only a different name, a separate face “. Treasury refuses to comment on the spring statement “imagination”.

As the financial statement approached, “The World is Eging Easing” has become the mantra of Reeves, but that does not mean that it is changing for further improvement. US President Donald Trump has begun both era Trade war And the requirements for the rapid re -armor of Britain.

The question for the country and the country is Spring Statement, though it is certain that it is sure, it is a more difficult budget shelter in autumn.

“We think in the autumn there is going to be even bigger about financial policies in the autumn and it buys them for this discussion,” said Andrew Goodwin, an economist from the advisory agency Oxford Economics. “It’s a kicking practice.”

Reeves are overseeing a flat economy, where next month, he will be given a $ 25 billion increase in national insurance contribution to employers announced in October last year.

Strongly criticized tax increases by business groups will be effective after Trump’s “World Customs Day” on April 2. Even if Britain Savage Most disciplinary tariffs, Reeves admit that a growing global trade war will create economic “headwinds”.

Then there was a political struggle to persuade the members of the Labor MPs to vote for £ 5 billion packages of welfare savings. Most accept that the benefits of health and illness are badly needed, but supporting the cuts will still be painful.

In the meantime ministers have shown Symptom At a recent cabinet meeting, they came to agree with what would be more strictly expensive review, which would allocate rare resources to the Whitehol categories in June.

Reeves will not loosen its financial rules to allow the strain to take the strain as a result of taking additional orrow. “Markets will kill us,” said a labor officer. However, if he needs to tighten the strings of the purse again in the autumn, it will be difficult to deliver more deeper expenses politically.

Some economists hope that after the year, the Chancellor’s potential response to the worse news will increase further. James Smith, an UK economist in the UK, says that the demand for higher expenditure on services seems to be “inevitable”.

The obvious challenges include to overcome defense expenses 2.5 percent of GDP Prime Minister Sir Care Starmar said he would finance foreign development assistance.

Smith said, “Public financing is working on the growing subtle margin, at a time where expenditure pressure is far from being reduced,” Smith said.

Another revenue hazard is derived from the weak growth of productivity lying in front. Economists have warned that the OBR has been criticized for endless optimists about the UK’s potential productivity aspect, but in recent months unnecessary information may force the financial surveillance to return its number, economists have warned.

OBR expects potential productivity growth in 2029, the final year of its medium-grade forecast will reach 1.2 percent. In his most recent view of this month, the final year of his forecast in the Bank of England 2027 estimated only 0.7 percent potential productivity growth.

City Group analysts have assumed that only 0.1 percent points in the forecast to increase OBR’s potential productivity would make a hole between £ 7bn and 8bn in public finance.

Reeves will try to look at the bright side on Wednesday, claiming that Britain is a “unique position” for favorable trade relations with the United States and EU thanks for Starmer’s skilled diplomacy.

He will emphasize that he continues to invest in capital projects and is following the policy of increasing the control and reform of the civil service.

However, the spring statement can be seen as a holding operation-a patching up of public money before the end of this year before more radical surgery.
