贬别听蝉补颈诲:
We have always been ambitious for the future of our economy.聽We have set out a series of clear, transparent benchmarks for our economy from ensuring macroeconomic stability to creating more balanced growth, getting Britain working and ensuring our whole country shares in rising prosperity.
The PM pledged to revive the economy by cutting the deficit, liberalising markets, keeping taxes low, slashing red tape and supporting enterprise.
The PM聽added:
Instead of controlling business, we will free enterprise to compete. Instead of acting with short-term initiatives we will think long-term about the modern support our economy needs. Instead of tolerating economic apartheid, we will give local people the power and the freedom to build success from the bottom up.
He also promised to reform the financial sector by 鈥済etting to grips with the bonus culture鈥� and making the banks serve the real economy.
