AIC reaction to Chancellor's Spring statement
Commenting on the Chancellors Spring statement Robert Sheasby, Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) Chief Executive was relieved that the environment for investment remained in place. “The OBRs halving of the UK’s growth forecast did not leave the Chancellor with much room for manoeuvre, but we are pleased that economic stability continued to be a focus alongside a recognition that investment is key to invigorating the economy. We believe the announcements made have not impacted this objective, although we appreciate that there is much hard work to do to ensure the UK grasps the opportunities that global uncertainty brings.”
