Middle East: Economic ResponseContribution
The Government have the right economic plan. I said I would grow the economy, and last week the Office for National Statistics confirmed that Britain’s economy was the fastest growing in the G7 for the first quarter of this year. We beat the Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast in the spring, with economic growth at 0.6% in the three months to March, and because of the resilience of our economy, this week the International Monetary Fund upgraded Britain’s forecast for this year.
