The sun is out but is the change to a new government shining on the UK economy? Inflation is holding steady at 2%, giving us hope that the Bank of England may look to reduce interest rates soon (good news for those needing to borrow money). Initiatives for pension reform, workers’ rights, rental reform and new building projects aim to help build UK growth and benefit the individual. We’ll see how these play out over the coming months and years but there are some positive moves in there.
