Ian Stewart, Chief Economist at Deloitte commented on the budget:
“Mr Osborne’s statement that “monetary activism” is at the heart of his strategy signals that the Chancellor is looking to the Bank to play a bigger role in getting growth going.
“The halving of the official growth forecast for this year left the Chancellor with a tough hand to play in today’s Budget. The official forecast for growth in 2013, at 0.6%, is even more pessimistic than the average economist.
“But the Chancellor has deftly used his limited room for manoeuvre to boost the private sector – through a further cut in the main rate of Corporation Tax, a £3 billion boost to infrastructure, measures to help homebuyers and a new £10,000 personal allowance.
“Mr Osborne has resisted calls to ease the pace of public sector austerity and is sticking with his Plan A. The Chancellor’s strategy is to use supply side reform and easier monetary policy to kick start private sector growth.”
