CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves risks pushing Britain into an economic “doom loop,” a top economist warned today as uproar broke out over the sacking of a top regulator.
Former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane told Sky News that “it would be deeply counterproductive to both growth and to the fiscal position” if the Chancellor’s plans “led to a cutting back on investment and indeed in spending more generally.”
“Then I think you really are into a doom loop between debt and growth. And that’s a situation to avoid at all costs,” he warned.
