AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Budget and Borrowing: Chancellor John Healey is preparing a cautious first Budget, with targeted help for households and businesses and more than £20bn for state-backed investment in AI, defence and green energy. But borrowing costs are at their highest in years, and polling points to widespread expectations of tax rises and a worsening economy. Business Pressure: A record 738,000 UK firms are in financial distress ahead of the Budget, while retailers warn rising costs could feed through to prices. Energy Investment: Elgin plans to invest £400m in UK solar and storage projects, even as MPs warn the Sizewell C nuclear deal could cost taxpayers and bill-payers far more than expected, with total costs potentially nearing £48bn.
