Richard Hughes, Head of the Independent Budget Office, warned that the full-fledged global trading war could eliminate that headscarf, while some economists, the Chancellor will have to raise the taxes in his autumn budget.

“This presents the crystallization of one of the risks, which we highlighted about our central forecast,” Hughes said on Thursday.

He said that on the worst case, where the United States charged an additional 20 percentage tariffs around the world and the United Kingdom answered. “We would lose about 1 percent of GDP at its peak.”

Hughes said that next year he would consider a very large number of growth. Which predicts that he would result in 1.9 percent and ratify the growth by 0.75 percent.

“Such a blow to the economy will be mature in revenues,” he said to the BBC. “It would have costs of expenses due to its impact on inflation.

Hughes added that if interest rates rose by 0.6%, it would be enough to erase that attic. “It’s a very small margin to put aside against a number of fiscal goals in a world that, as we have seen, can change the next one day.”

In his spring statement, Reeves declared a A series of cost cutsIncluding a reduction of 4.8 billion pounds of 4.8 billion pounds for 14 billion pounds of public finances.

He finished the day against his fiscal management by 9.9 billion pounds, just as he left his budget in October, but very small by historical standards.
