The authorities' Growth Mission covers the right areas to lift productivity. Given the breadth of the agenda, prioritizing and sequencing of structural reforms, along with clear communication, will be key to success.

After easing to 1.7 percent in September, headline inflation picked up again in the fall mainly because of waning effects from lower energy prices. Wage growth continued to moderate as the labor market showed signs of easing. Monetary policy has remained restrictive, despite the gradual reduction in Bank Rate, and the stance of fiscal policy was broadly unchanged in FY2024/25 (relative to the previous year).
