AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Budget and Growth: Business confidence fell after Chancellor John Healey’s Budget, with leaders criticizing its lack of support for growth. The watchdog expects the UK economy to slow next year, while household disposable incomes face further pressure. Pay and Costs: The National Living Wage is set to rise to £13.21 an hour from April 2027, but frozen tax thresholds could erode some gains. Aerospace: The government pledged £1.25bn to help Rolls-Royce develop its Ultravan engine, backing a major UK industrial programme. Digital Regulation: The Competition and Markets Authority is investigating Meta’s proposed terms for publishers, raising fresh questions for businesses over access to online content and AI. Trade: UK-Guyana trade reached about £2.2bn, and Britain has raised export-finance capacity for eligible Guyanese projects to £3.5bn.
