The Spring Statement - a summary of the highlights
The Spring Statement delivered by the Chancellor on 3 March 2026 provided an update on the UK’s economic outlook and public finances.
Overall, the Statement included relatively limited new policy announcements and confirmed that there would be no major tax changes. Instead, the Chancellor outlined a small number of targeted measures aimed at supporting businesses and providing cost certainty in certain areas.
It is important to note that the OBR’s forecasts do not yet factor in the economic impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The situation may influence global energy prices, supply chains and market confidence, all of which could alter the UK’s economic trajectory over the coming year.
