Osborne on 2011 Budget: "The future favours the bold"

The ambition of my Budget on 23 March will be to turn the tide on the forces of stagnation. And the guiding principle as I put the Budget together will be: the future favours the bold.
This is according to Chancellor George Osborne in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year.
As we noted last month, it appears to be the case that Osborne counts UK trade unions among the "forces of stagnation". But despite Osborne's avowed willingness "to consider changes to the law around strikes," it is unlikely that the 2011 Budget will include any measures aimed at the unions.

So what might we expect from the 2011 Budget?

The March 2011 economic commentary from XpertHR previews Osborne's 2011 Budget, and also the TUC's planned March 2011 day of action, which could prove a crucial indicator as to whether there is a public appetite for protest at economic austerity.

We also round up latest data on all key economic indicators of relevance to HR.
