The UK’s trade agreement with India could deliver economic benefits eventually comparable in scale to the now defunct US trade deal - but it also carries far more uncertainty and risk - 🧵THREAD 🧵 here - and full report on our website: economy2030.resolutionfoundation.org/reports/a-pres…
A UK-India FTA could be a big deal: UK business services exports under-perform in India relative to other Indo-Pacific regions – accounting for just 1.8% of imports to India, compared to 4.2% in Malaysia – so the potential for future growth is huge. Image
A UK-India deal could also be a bigger, but riskier, deal than a US FTA. India is forecast to become the world’s third largest import market by 2050. Demand for business, telecommunications and computer services, where UK export firms perform well, is expected to treble in 2020s. Image

New @resfoundation analysis by @MikeBrewerEcon & @charliejmccurdy Post-furlough blues: What happened to furloughed workers after the end of the Job Retention Scheme? Highlights 🧵resolutionfoundation.org/publications/p…
The context: the UK labour market is in a strong position, in terms of unemployment – it is both falling, and its peak has been revised down hugely by @OBR_UK
Still, when the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (JRS) closed on 30 September 2021 around 1.1 million employees were either fully or partially furloughed – particularly in sectors like aviation and among older aged workers.

The housing market in a nutshell over the last fifty years? House prices up; interest rates down (although mortgage terms and loan-to-value ratios have changed a bit too).
In new research published today, and funded by @NuffieldFound , we ask which generation has had the better deal when it comes to buying a first home: resolutionfoundation.org/publications/s…
Sky-high interest rates in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s meant that older generations had a stressful time, especially in the early years of a mortgage...
