Bloomberg Talks · UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves Talks Trump Tariff Threats · 20 Jan 2026 podcast

has had challenging economic times the last few years is because the previous Conservative government, particularly under Liz Truss, both played fast and loose with the public finances, but also undermined the economic institutions that make Britain, have made Britain, a safe and secure place to invest.

We're undoing that damage, working closely with the independent economic institutions, but respecting their independence.

uh and that collaboration and fiscal policy supporting monetary policy has enabled those six cuts in interest rates taking rates down to 3.75 percent it's the fastest speed of rate reduction in the uk in 17 years and that's only possible because of the stability that we've returned to the economy and the decisions we've made on fiscal consolidation

And the IMF say that amongst developed economies, we have got the fastest pace of fiscal consolidation over the next few years.

That gives investors confidence around the stability in the UK, our grip on the public finances and our grip on inflation.

Well, look, we won a massive majority just a year and a half ago.

We have three and a half years remaining in our term in office.

And I'm confident that our economic plan to grow the economy with the stability return to the economy, bringing investment in global investment, as well as unlocking domestic investment,

is the right plan and in the next few months as inflation returns to target with lower interest rates which are benefiting both households and businesses that we will see the fruits of that in growth and higher living standards.

Well, I was with Scott last week in Washington.

I'm seeing Secretary Lutnick later today.

Our Prime Minister spoke to President Trump just over the weekend.

You know, as you would expect, there are very close relations between our country at all levels.

So I believe in free and fair trade.

I believe in the benefits to businesses and also consumers of open economies.

Economies that are open to trade, open to investment and open to talent.

have always been the most successful economies.

And I want Britain, even in a world where others are putting up barriers to trade and investment and talent, for Britain to be breaking down those barriers.

And we are announcing today further changes in our global talent routes into the UK.

for three particular types of visa.
