Chief economist comments on the headlines from today’s Queen’s Speech
Following on from this morning’s Queen’s Speech, Colliers International’s chief economist Dr Walter Boettcher said: “The Queen’s Speech offered no great surprises. From a commercial property perspective, the only real take-aways were the commitment to regional development and infrastructure investment (digital, transport and energy) and specific mentions of post-Brexit support for financial services and legal sectors. More generally, there was a sense that fiscal policy will be deployed to a greater extent to support the economy. As ever, we wait for the detail.”
