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>

answer text <p>It is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried out within government. The Government's plan for leaving the EU has been discussed at length, and Parliament will have a say on the final deal we achieve with the European Union by putting that deal to a vote in both Houses before it comes into force. But as Parliament has also agreed, we will not publish anything that would undermine our ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK.</p> more like this
