Abstract: The incoming government has inherited a UK economy with poor productivity growth and stagnant living standards. At the same time, taxes are higher as a proportion of GDP than at any time since 1949, while public services are clearly in need of more investment, public infrastructure needs to be improved, defence spending needs to be increased in light of increasing geopolitical risks, and the transition to net zero will require investment in green technology. In this Outlook we explore these issues with the aim of generating a deeper understanding of these economic challenges and providing the new government with a policy framework for addressing them.
