In this special episode of Accountancy Insights, we look ahead to the most significant events and trends anticipated in 2025.

Last year brought a new UK government and its controversial first Budget. With things now appearing more settled at home, the upcoming inauguration of President Trump in the US and the recent collapse of governments in Europe will bring new opportunities and challenges for the British economy.

For the third year, host Philippa Lamb is joined in forecasting by Iain Wright, ICAEW Managing Director of Reputation and Influence; Frances Haque, Chief Economist at Santander UK; and David Williamson, Political Editor of the Sunday Express.
