North East needs strategy for growth

CBI North East has reiterated its call for the Chancellor to deliver an all-action budget today to boost growth and jobs.

The business group has already outlined its priorities in a letter to George Osborne, urging him to focus on boosting export performance, unleashing domestic investment spending and removing barriers for high-growth firms.

Sarah Green, Regional Director, said: “To rebalance the North East economy, the UK needs a strategy for growth, which recognises the unique contribution of different geographies.

“The North East is already considered a good place to invest and do business, but business investment has been set back during the recession.

“To create the jobs our economy needs, we must become not just a good but a great investment destination.”
