UK ‘laser focused’ on economic growth says Rachel Reeves
Britain is “laser-focused” on kick-starting economic growth, Rachel Reeves has said, as she travels to Canada to meet finance ministers from the world’s wealthiest countries.
The Chancellor will also emphasise the UK Government’s push to provide stability among turmoil across the world, as she meets her counterparts from the G7 group of nations: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States.
Ms Reeves will insist that the UK is open for business to other nations, after a trio of deals with the US, India and the EU have been struck in the last few weeks.
Speaking ahead of her visit, the Chancellor said: “This Government is laser-focused on delivering for the British people. That’s why in the past two weeks we have struck three major deals with the US, EU and India that will kick-start economic growth and put more money in people’s pockets as part of our Plan for Change.
“The world is changing, but we have shown in recent weeks that Britain is a strong economy that can navigate that change and we are once again a nation that is open for business.”
