answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>The Treasury continuously monitors global and European economic developments as part of the normal process of domestic policy development.</p><p> </p><p>Euro area growth has become increasingly robust in recent quarters. This has helped boost economic sentiment, as the European Commission’s publication on 30 October notes. They consider that the outlook for euro area growth remains positive; growth forecasts were revised up for the euro area in the Autumn Forecast, released November 9.</p><p> </p><p>The UK economy is also fundamentally strong. The economy has grown for 19 consecutive quarters, employment is close to a record high and the deficit has been cut by three quarters. UK consumer confidence has been relatively stable over the last six months. However there is more to do: improving our productivity remains the key to raising living standards over the long term. That is why we have invested over a quarter of a trillion pounds in infrastructure, cut taxes to support business investment and reformed technical education.</p><p> </p><p>The UK welcomes the stronger macroeconomic outlook for the euro area. It is in Britain’s interest to see a stable and prosperous euro area</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 05/12/2017 16:18:17 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
