Food and others goods inflation has also fallen, but services inflation remains elevated. The move to full expensing also provides us with an opportunity to permanently simplify capital allowances.

The OBR confirms that policies announced at the Autumn Statement will increase economic growth. It estimates that the overall effect of these supply-side measures is to boost the size of the economy by 0.3% by the end of the forecast. The OBR’s forecast also reflects long-term demographic and technological changes. The OBR judges that as the population ages, individuals will work for fewer hours on average. Due to the higher proportion of intangible assets in the economy, it assumes capital is being retired at a faster rate than previously. These factors mean that, prior to the impact of policy measures, labour and capital are assumed to grow more slowly than before, which pulls down long-term growth. This further justifies the government’s continued focus on creating growth by boosting the supply side of the economy. Secondly, the government values the work of the self-employed who contribute so much to the economy. Therefore, the government will support the self-employed by cutting the main rate of Class 4 self-employed NICs from 9% to 8% from 6 April 2024. This will benefit around 2 million individuals, recognising the contribution of the self-employed and ensuring that work pays for all.ONS data shows the government has borrowed less so far this year than implied by the OBR’s March forecast. This mainly reflects stronger-than-expected tax receipts.

But I’ll be here no matter what happens, so you guys can pencil me in for that.” phase 1: unemployed claimants across Great Britain will receive regular support from a work coach to search for and move into work. To strengthen the government’s understanding of how early interventions can best help claimants find work or increase their income, the government has expanded Additional Jobcentre Support, currently live in 90 Jobcentres. [footnote 79], [footnote 80] This will test the impact of intensive support 7 weeks into a claimant’s work search journey, building on the pilot announced at Spring Budget 2023 to test the impact of interventions at 13 and 26 weeks The government’s priority to reduce debt is aligned with the approach of other advanced economies. Several countries have reaffirmed their commitments to medium-term fiscal sustainability. In Europe, Germany has reimposed its constitutional debt brake, which limits its core budget deficit to 0.35% of GDP, while France has set out commitments to get debt falling over the medium term. [footnote 13], [footnote 14] The European Commission has consulted on changes to the Stability and Growth Pact, proposing to reintroduce updated debt and deficit rules that have been suspended since the COVID-19 pandemic. [footnote 15] Elsewhere, Canada and Australia have committed to reducing their debt-to-GDP ratios over the medium term. [footnote 16], [footnote 17]
