Pre-Budget Report
24 November 2008
Since mid-2007, economies across the world have been hit by major global economic shocks. These challenges are already impacting on UK regions, affecting them in significantly different ways. To develop an understanding of each individual region in England, the Government, along with the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), launched a consultation with businesses and individuals over the summer by publishing a series of Regional Economy Documents. Devolved Administrations are leading similar approaches in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Meeting the economic challenges in every region builds on that consultation and sets out the actions that the Government is taking to support the English regions and their economies through tougher times. It also outlines the activities that RDAs, alongside local authorities and other regional partners, are focussing on to ensure that their region is best placed to meet new demands and prepare for recovery.
Meeting the economic challenges in every region is available in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer you can download the software free of charge from the Adobe website.
