A CEP COVID-19 analysis: Paper No.005<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK and the world have suffered disruption and hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic on an immense scale. Together with the tragic consequences of the health crisis, there is now a real risk of protracted global depression. Strong and timely action can increase confidence, steer expectations and channel productive private and public investment into a sustainable, inclusive and resilient recovery across the UK. The recovery can be embedded in an understanding of, and commitment to, ‘building back better’ by delivering on the Government’s strategic objectives including reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This briefing paper, produced by the LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance and co-authored by Grantham Research Institute staff and associates, sets out the key areas where strong economic policies and institutions will be needed to foster investment. It builds on the discussions that took place in the Royal Economic Society’s webinar series on a ‘Strong and sustainable recovery from COVID-19’, chaired by Professor Lord Stern.
