The Labour Government’s net zero strategy, laid out in its latest budget, presents a bold, three-step plan to drive the UK towards a cleaner, greener future. This comprehensive approach leverages fiscal flexibility, cutting-edge technologies, and streamlined infrastructure development to make net zero a reality. Baringa Nick Forrest Maddy Binns 𝟏. 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Labour plans to boost capital expenditure by revising fiscal rules to allow for increased borrowing, ensuring that critical green investments can be made without burdening day-to-day budgets. This will enable a wave of infrastructure development and support job creation, ultimately building a sustainable foundation for the future. 𝟐. 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 "𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧": The Labour Government is focused on tackling the toughest areas of decarbonisation, particularly the "last mile" — the final barriers to achieving full net zero. By providing subsidies for frontier technologies such as energy storage and Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS), Labour aims to make these innovations accessible and accelerate their integration across industries, pushing the UK closer to net zero with every step. 𝟑. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Recognising the urgent need for efficient energy infrastructure, Labour is committed to liberalising planning and centralising decision-making. This step will reduce bureaucratic delays and infrastructure constraints on the network and grid, enabling faster deployment of renewable energy projects and ensuring a resilient, future-ready energy system. With these three steps, Labour’s strategy underscores a practical and forward-thinking commitment to achieving net zero by investing in innovation, removing bottlenecks, and securing a clean energy future for the UK.

Yesterday's budget was an attempt to break the UK's fiscal dilemma to increase investment and break a cycle of low growth and high debt. We evaluate "Reeves' Keys" to break the fiscal dilemma in this report by our economics team Caspian Conran, Nick Forrest, and Maddy Binns. #UKEconomy #BudgetReaction #BudgetAnalysis
