A government cannot balance its current budget while starving the economy of the investment it needs. That is not fiscal prudence, it is deferred economic insecurity – and the UK’s lagging public and private investment are its outcome.

New post on what fiscal rules are actually for. Link in replies.

Raising interest rates will not reduce inflation. So why does it seem impossible to challenge this long-established response to rising prices?

Legitimate concerns exist about central banks' current response. Thread. 1/8

Just in time for the latest oil price spike, we published our article urging the ECB not to hike rates to fight a supply shock. Europe needs a new inflation governance for shockflation. We need disaster preparedness for essentials instead of increasing investment costs.

Scotland faces a looming fiscal gap. Decisions about how to close it are political choices, not fiscal inevitabilities. How the government responds will shape our economic future. We can’t return to austerity. There is an alternative. Read our latest blog: https://t.co/mAojXSeQqm

"The recent rise in long-term rates—what has been called a global “bond rout”—mainly reflects an expectation that short rates will be raised. It’s not complicated; all other factors are secondary." 3/

Paying interest on central bank reserves "is essentially a publicly funded guaranteed income to private finance that does nothing to encourage lending to the “real economy.” Too true @ptcherneva https://t.co/WTRGFiJoNh
