Torsten Bell: Inflation falls, growth rises, investment up and borrowing down — Inflation and growth show improvement

Torsten Bell highlights recent positive economic indicators, including a larger-than-expected fall in inflation, an increase in growth last week, and a decline in borrowing over the past year.

He also observes rising investment levels, shorter waiting lists, and a decrease in migration from record highs. Bell acknowledges ongoing challenges, noting the need for continued progress and referencing risks tied to the conflict in Iran.

But we saved everything 🙂.

Bell previously noted that UK borrowing last year dropped below the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast for the first time under the Conservatives, falling beneath the G7 average for the first time as well (link). He also reported that UK GDP and investment growth have led the G7 following the implementation of Rachel Reeves' economic plan (link). These developments frame the recent economic data in the context of ongoing fiscal and investment changes.
