Benchmarks for Britain
For the first time, the British people will have eight clear and transparent benchmarks against
which they can judge the economic success or failure of the next government. We will be
accountable and open. These are the eight Benchmarks for Britain. Achieving them over the next
Parliament will mean we have put Britain back on its feet and are building a new British economic
model, very different from the debt-driven economy of recent years.
change the economy
1. Ensure macroeconomic stability: We will safeguard Britain’s credit rating with a credible plan
to eliminate the bulk of the structural deficit over a Parliament. Our fiscal policy will seek to
help keep interest rates lower for longer. The independent Bank of England will continue to
target 2 per cent Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation, and will use its new role in prudential
supervision to preserve financial stability.
2. Create a more balanced economy: We will create the conditions for higher exports, business
investment and saving as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
3. Get Britain working again: We will reduce youth unemployment and reduce the number of
children in workless households as part of our strategy for tackling poverty and inequality.
4. Encourage enterprise: We will improve Britain’s international rankings for tax competitiveness
and business regulation.
5. Ensure the whole country shares in rising prosperity: We will increase the private sector’s share
of the economy in all regions of the country, especially outside London and the South East.
6. Reform public services to deliver better value for money: We will raise productivity growth
in the public sector in order to deliver better schools and a better NH S.
7. Create a safer banking system that serves the needs of the economy: We will reform the
regulation and structure of the banking system to ensure lower levels of leverage, less
dependence on unstable wholesale funding, and greater availability of credit for small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
8. Build a greener economy: We will reduce UK greenhouse gas emissions and increase our
share of global markets for low carbon technologies.How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment
