ICP073: Budget for the next generationBudget for the next generation

This episode of the Informed Choice Podcast is a Budget special, recapping the main personal finance and investing measures announced earlier this week in the Budget.

Martin breaks this down into the five main areas of the economy, pensions, taxation, savings and business. He also covers some of the miscellaneous Budget measures announced this week.

This was a politically important Budget with the EU referendum looming in June.

Chancellor George Osborne had to balance a desire to impose radical reform on the pension system with keeping Tory backbenchers happy.

His Budget was presented against a backdrop of challenging global economy, with the Office for Budget Responsibility cutting their UK economic growth forecasts, again.

It has been described as a Budget for the next generation, with the introduction of a Lifetime ISA designed to encourage younger people to save for the future.
