RE: UK Spending Round - Rescue to Recovery - An Impeccable
Analysis
Suggestion:
Good Morning Mr. Chancellor. Let me start by paying my respects to you
and through you to.
Mr. Chancellor, I see UK economic outlook improve gradually during the
second half of 2013. Britain spending cuts face severe in 60 years. UK fiscal
consolidation cannot accomplish through spending cuts alone. Education will
suffer an 8.4% cut. Education cuts will make UK less competitive because our
children won’t be able to compete in the world and neither will our nation. However,
school spending is safe guarded. Your government allocate total £50 billion
investment for infrastructure. In my opinion, your government had done too
little so far for infrastructure. Lowering infrastructure spending undermines
the sector’s ability to stimulate growth or job creation. Moreover, it is not
all good news for the infrastructure because departmental cuts like road
maintenance likely to suffer.
Mr. Chancellor, your government has announced no increase in capital
spending up to 2017-18. This will undermine the public sector investment and
the share of national income broadly over the next four years. Your government
8% cut in the foreign office budget, culture, media and sport faces 7% cut all
welcome. Your government announced 1% rise on public sector wage bill. I
identified spending for the public sector wage bill for UK has increased faster
than GDP and it contributes to the problem of government deficits.
Mr. Chancellor, minimum wage bill is best for economy
because wage policy is accountable for current account imbalances in UK and
allows wage bill really accountable for the huge national debts. Moreover, wage
increases have undermined the competitiveness of UK. Your spending cuts alone cannot
accomplish UK fiscal consolidation. Some years it can be expansionary, some
years it can be contractionary. So we have no reason to prefer just spending
cut. In my opinion, UK need for structural economic reforms in raising growth
potential and fiscal consolidation. The budgetary implications of major
structural reforms are to be taken account for UK fiscal consolidation. So we
need a credible framework for sound fiscal policies which could favour both
structural reforms and fiscal consolidation.
Mr. Chancellor, I am confident that UK spending cuts have positive
impact on net revenues and would have significant benefits for UK
economy.
