Andy Haldane on Britain’s Fiscal Squeeze and Growth Problem

About this episode

Former Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane joins Merryn Somerset Webb to unpack why the UK may feel poorer, more fragile and seemingly out of options—despite sitting on untapped wealth and world-class innovation. From tough fiscal trade-offs and rising taxes to the surprising strength of private balance sheets, he argues the UK’s problems may be serious—but they’re far from unsolvable. The big question: can policymakers unlock growth before patience and confidence runs out?
