Economic Advisory Council
Contents |
[edit] Introduction
On Monday 17 October 2022, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt announced that he would convene an expert panel of respected economists as part of a new Economic Advisory Council. The announcement came as the Chancellor committed to do “whatever is necessary for economic stability”, a critical part of the government’s mission to "go for growth".
The Council will meet regularly to discuss UK and international economies and financial markets.
[edit] Initial list of Council members
The first Council members announced have decades of economic experience across the private and public sector:
- Rupert Harrison, BlackRock
- Gertjan Vlieghe, Element Capital
- Sushil Wadhwani, PGIM Wadhwani
- Karen Ward, J. P. Morgan Asset Management
Further members will be added in due course. All members will be attending in an independent capacity, and have been chosen for their personal knowledge and expertise. Care will be taken to ensure Council members are not privy to any material non-public information, or market sensitive information.
The Council will also be attended by the Chancellor and the Treasury’s Chief Economic Adviser.
[edit] Comment
The Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt said: "I look forward to working with such an esteemed group of economic experts, whose advice will be invaluable. In a period of global economic challenge and volatility, exacerbated by Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, prioritising UK economic stability is vital and will underpin long-term growth."
