Economics in business

July 2026
PwC UK Chief Economist Barret Kupelian is joined by Andy Haldane, Economic Adviser to PwC UK and former Chief Economist at the Bank of England, to explore why the UK economy has been surprisingly resilient in the face of ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
They also discuss what the future opportunities are for the incoming Labour government, including how they can harness the increased defence spending and reset relations with business to unlock investment.
