There’s a lot of focus on price and wage inflation so far from the Chancellor. Important for pension funds and pension savers to note that a managed low inflation economy is still a goal #Budget2021 #AutumnBudget PwC UK

'It will be interesting to see whether the Chancellor explores further the use of fiscal measures (tax rises) in managing inflation' says Alex Henderson

Although this tax cut will make it easier for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder, how will the already hot housing market cope with the additional demand. Read Jamie Durham's press release on the Chancellor's #MiniBudget bit.ly/3Uz2Rk8

With OBR inflation forecasts at 9.1% this year and 7.4% next year, pension funds will have manage and tackle the implications for their liabilities and their pensioners for a while yet - needs to be become part of normal planning not just a one-off event #AutumnStatement PwC UK

The 75% planned reduction in the annual capital gains allowance is interesting in 2 regards: it has the function of stopping calculation of small gains cluttering up the system & it also shows the Chancellor going beyond simply freezing allowances. #AutumnStatement

If the triple lock continues, it’s possible that the State Pension will catch up with the tax-free personal allowance by the end of the frozen period 2027/28. Creates an interesting situation for the future course of State Pension and personal allowances #AutumnStatement PwC UK

That’s a big fall in projected inflation for 2023. At that rate, we could even see deflation in 2024. Who’s planning for that? #SpringBudget #Budget2023 PwC UK

A #Budget2023 for growth suggests that the Chancellor will look at the some of the structural issues in the economy: labour participation, business investment and innovation and productivity improvement and training. Follow our live coverage here: pwc.co.uk/budget

We are really getting a #Budget2023 with something for everyone with the #Chancellor rattling off initiatives - some of them not so small either, when added up over 5 years. The questions will be how much is completely new and how quickly they can be brought in to effect?

It really does seem as if the Chancellor has 110 measures to go through which may set some sort of record for detail: in reality the range and impact of these is likely to be apparent from the papers the government publishes once the Chancellor sits down #AutumnStatement

The Chancellor's emphasis on a focus on GDP per head suggests that productivity improvements (a long standing UK issue) will be a focus of this #SpringBudget. pwc.co.uk/budget.html
