This event is exclusive to retailers, both members and non-members
The Chancellor sets out his Budget on the 28th of October with around £13 billion of headroom, borrowing costs at their highest since 1998, and an energy market still disrupted by events in the Gulf. The retail industry will feel the implications of the fiscal choices he decides to make.
Join Harvir Dhillon, Lead Economist, for the Budget's impact on the economy, as well as retailer's cost bases, what it may mean for prices and hiring into 2027, and what the BRC is pressing for in response.
