Today’s autumn budget from the new Labour government was eagerly anticipated, especially by us here at Lowell who work with financially vulnerable people across the UK.   While the budget included some key measures, it appears that relatively few of these are tailored to help vulnerable people manage their finances more effectively—a critical discussion point we feel has been overlooked. Nonetheless, we’re encouraged by the government’s commitment to a Fair Repayment Rate, which includes capping the rate at which people on Universal Credit repay their debts. This step signals a positive move toward fairer financial practices and suggests an understanding of the need for sensitive debt collection approaches.   We look forward to seeing how this commitment might extend to other areas of the public sector, setting a new standard for fair debt collection practices that prioritise financial wellbeing. #budget2024

UK gilt sell-off in September 2022 was included as one of the instances analyzed. Another interesting take from the professor's paper concerned the consequences of adopting Quantitative Easing (QE) to halt bond sell-offs. If usually deployed to stop a market panic, when central banks use it to support bondholders it translates into a net loss for taxpayers. This trade-off is approached in this The Economist article - https://lnkd.in/dQpayBV2) For the upcoming weeks, attention is put on the UK pension market: first, has it learned from its mistakes back in 2022? Second, if push comes to shove, how will the Central Bank handle it? #finance #monetarypolicy #UK
