The economy.
Budget speech.
As we can all testify, this country’s economy is strong and getting stronger. Our measures to curb inflation have proved highly successful. The rampant inflation of the previous government is a thing of the past. Inflation currently stands at 2 per cent. The strength of the current economic climate suggests that interest rates are unlikely to be raised again this year. This should help us to build up a culture of investing for the long-term.

This Government has steered the economy through seven years of uninterrupted economic growth; a trend which is set to continue with our major success in stimulating growth. And in the latest quarter, the economy has been growing at an annual rate of 2.5 per cent.

All indicators show that industry is thriving. But we are particularly proud of the steady growth experienced by small businesses. We have made it our aim to safeguard their interests and the healthy economy we have created has enabled them to increase output. The plummeting profits caused by the previous government’s misguided policies are now safely behind them.
