The Economy 2030 Inquiry is examining the scale and impact of economic change that the UK is living through in the 2020s, and will set out a plan for successfully navigating it.

For the past 18 months, researchers from the Resolution Foundation and CEP have been publishing reports and discussing the impact of Covid-19, Brexit and the net zero transition on the UK economy. Catch up with what’s been going on since 1 June 2022 below.

The inquiry is a collaboration between the Resolution Foundation and the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) at the London School of Economics, funded by the Nuffield Foundation.

As the inquiry continues, this research together with input from citizens’ juries, will inform the development of policy proposals on how to support living standards, ensure decent jobs and increase resilience.
