On today’s episode of the Ian King Business Podcast, the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies Paul Johnson suggests the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has no scope for unfunded tax cuts or spending increases – either this year or next.
The chancellor will be preparing to deliver his Autumn Statement next month, against the backdrop of a pending general election.
There’s confirmation of job cuts at Rolls-Royce, first reported by Sky’s city editor Mark Kleinman.
And Ian explores the rapid rise of Fintech in Africa.
