Welcome to the Norwich Economic Publication podcast!
Today, we’re diving into the newly released UK Budget. This Budget lays out key plans for government spending, taxes, and economic priorities—and it’s set to affect individuals, businesses, and the economy as a whole. But rather than just reporting the facts, we wanted to hear what people think about it. So, we interviewed students and lecturers from a range of backgrounds, asking what they know about this Budget, what stood out to them, and how they think it will impact everyday life. In this episode, we’ll be sharing their thoughts and insights, breaking down the big ideas behind the Budget and what it could mean for us all. Thanks for tuning in!
