CBI responds to Prime Minister's speech - Conservative Party Conference

CBI yesterday responded to Prime Minister's speech – Conservative Party Conference.

Tony Danker, CBI Director-General, yesterday said: 

“The Prime Minister has set out a compelling vision for our economy. High wages, high skills, high investment and high growth.

“But the PM has only stated his ambition on wages. This needs to be backed up by action on skills, on investment and on productivity.

“Ambition on wages without action on investment and productivity is ultimately just a pathway for higher prices

“It’s a fragile moment for our economy. So, let’s work in partnership to overcome the short-term challenges and fulfil our long-term potential. It’s time to get around the table, roll up our sleeves and get things done. It’s time to be united.”
