Economy

Recent pieces look at firmer indicators ahead of the October budget, rising financial distress across almost every business sector and the investment needed to grow a circular economy. Coverage also reaches beyond Britain, for instance how Canada’s tariff response could hit the United States, and into the creative trade, where digital content creators now hold a clearer place in the screen industry.

Alongside the news sits a set of explainers on interest rates and personal finance, the gig economy, automation and shifting consumer habits since the pandemic. Readers new to the subject can start with the financial literacy primer, then move on to the forecasts once the vocabulary feels familiar.
