answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2024 answer text <p>There are four key things the government has done to reduce inflation:</p><ol><li>Remaining steadfast in our support for the Bank of England as it takes action to return inflation sustainably to the 2% target.</li><li>Keeping borrowing under control. Borrowing is lower this year and next than it was forecast to be in the Spring.</li><li>Introducing ambitious supply-side measures to support non-inflationary growth, including delivering full expensing.</li><li>Boosting labour supply. Labour market conditions are a key problem affecting UK businesses’ growth, as well as a significant driver of domestic inflation. Together, the packages at Autumn Statement and Spring Budget 2023 were the two largest increases to labour supply and potential GDP resulting from policy the OBR has ever scored.</li></ol><p> </p><p>The OBR confirms policies in the Autumn Statement reduce inflation next year and do not “have a material impact on the path of inflation” over the scorecard.</p><p> </p><p>Inflation has more than halved, but it remains a challenge. The OBR forecasts inflation to return to the 2% target in the first half of 2025 and helping the Bank of England in its fight to do so remains a key focus.</p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 17/01/2024 11:27:25 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami
