Read time : 8 mins Added: 15/03/2023
The UK Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, delivered the first Budget of the Sunak premiership, supported by a more positive fiscal backdrop than at the time of the last fiscal event in November.

Our Senior UK Economist Nikesh Sawjani and UK Economist Emma Wilks give their views and expert commentary on what the budget means for the UK economy.
