The Economics of Greater Manchester ...
Just a reminder! This is the theme of our economics conference this year. I hope you will be will be able to make it Friend.
Will you be able to join the line up of speakers. This is the third conference in our series on economics. Last year the theme was China, the first year [2015] was great fun as Ian King interviewed, Kate Barker and Andrew Sentance on life on the MPC!
This year we have a special focus on housing and infrastructure, as well as "Balancing the Books" in Greater Manchester. We hope the IFS will take a hard look at the ambitious fiscal plans for the City Region. Hopefully Andy Burnham will be with us to talk about the challenges of the elected mayor in leading the inclusive growth challenge
We build on the importance of the event year after year. Please let me know if you are able to make it. The event promises to offer great insights into the direction of travel for the Northern Economy, with your contribution we can highlight the way ahead!
Thanks,
John
