Aims
The LSE Growth Commission was set up to provide authoritative and evidence-based policy recommendations that target sustainable and inclusive long-term growth in the UK. Some of its first set of recommendations in 2013, notably on infrastructure, were turned into concrete action by UK policymakers.
The Commission’s second Report and recommendations in its Growth Manifesto are due out in January 2017. They will address new questions facing the UK following the result of the June 2016 Referendum.
