In today's episode of Talking Markets, David and Michael speak with Louise Hellem, Chief Economist at the CBI and a member of its Executive Committee. She and her team provide business leaders with advice on the UK economic outlook and global risks. Building on the insights from members, she shapes the CBI’s overall view on economic and fiscal policy and leads the CBI’s discussions with senior politicians and policymakers in these areas. Louise also oversees the CBI’s economic consultancy business CBI Economics.

Louise helps us understand how the new government is doing in terms of communicating the state of the UK economy both internally and externally and emphasizes that growth and productivity should have the highest priority.
