Скачать или смотреть Telegraph Panel: The Future of the UK Economy

Join The Telegraph’s top economist team Ben Wright, Allister Heath, Jeremy Warner, Juliet Samuel and Liam Halligan as they get to grips with the predicted economic effects of the global pandemic.

Topics discussed include;
UK response vs US response
Did the UK Government make a massive gamble when it came to the furlough scheme? Should they have done what the Americans did when they improved unemployment benefits? The Sunak plan only deferred the pain; it didn't reduce it.

On furlough
In the wake of the furlough scheme ending, how does the economy now need to change? Has the furlough scheme saved jobs or just prolonged the inevitable? Have the UK population got used to free money?

Sunak's biggest problem
Is Rishi Sunak's biggest issue that the government doesn’t have an economic vision or strategy? What is the government's private sector led growth strategy?

Does the pandemic make it more or less likely the UK makes a success of Brexit?
Global trade is very sharply recovering and ultimately Brexit is all about increasing the amount of trade. Are there some promising signs in terms of the global economy and as the UK looks outwards, is there an opportunity to take advantage of any up turn?

Trump vs. Biden
Will a Trump or Biden presidency be better for the UK? Who’s policies work in the favour of the UK?

Is there an economy on the other side of this crisis? All that and more is discussed in this insightful panel discussion.
