UK markets looking besieged this morning guilt of plummeted, Sterling hit an all time low against the dollar as traders ramp up their bets on the pace and the size of interest rate hikes by the Bank of England. Now the institute of fiscal studies has been scathing about the Chancellor's announcements on Friday, gambling with fiscal sustainability in order to push through huge tax cuts as IFS director Paul Johnson put it. Joining us now Isabel Stockton research economist at the institute for fiscal studies, Isabel, we heard the Chancellor at doubling down on plans to further cut taxes over the weekend appearing to brush off the ravaging of these markets. How long can they keep this going, do you think? Well, as you said, it is a big gamble. So on current forecasts, these sums are not going to add up. And the Chancellor's plans would lead to that on an increasing share relative to the size of the economy. In the long run, that is not going to be sustainable. Now, the government may get lucky and we may be getting much better growth than current forecasts are expecting, or there may be a concerted policy effort across multiple policy areas that is successful in bringing growth up that would indeed be incredibly welcome. But cuts in headline tax rates on their own are just extremely unlikely to generate that sort of push to growth that we would need to make these tax cuts sustainable by themselves. Okay, so skeptical about the government's plan to increase growth via tax cards. What could the government do then to restore confidence? Do you think that they will you turn or will they soften some of these measures? I mean, there did seem to be no hint of that on Sunday with quasi quantang speaking to the media. And it certainly doesn't sound like it. We did hear some sort of encouraging noises during the statement in terms of looking at a broader range of areas, a broader range of reforms where we would need something we would need to see some policy action. We would need to see some investment to actually have a decent shot at generating the sort of growth we would need to put the public finances on a more sustainable path. Now, so far, that hasn't been terribly detailed, but we hope that that will follow and that tax cuts are just one part of a wider strategy, which is really all they can be. Isabel, what is the inflationary impact of Sterling and the pound at these levels? Well, of course, it is concerning to see this sort of market reaction to the fiscal statement and it is not clear that the tax cuts that we're seeing would not have an additional inflationary impact. Of course, that is a very plausible response. And it is worrying that we are seem to be headed in a direction where monitoring fiscal policy are sort of working against each other. Okay, just very briefly, do you think there'll be an emergency meeting by the Bank of England this week? Well, I wouldn't like to speculate on that. Okay. Isabel, thank you so much for being with us. Yeah, I appreciate if that was an off topic question, but I'm interesting to get your views though on the market reaction really unexpectedly perhaps severe market reaction to the budget announcements by quasi quarte Isabel Stockton is research economist at
