April 28 (Reuters) – British finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Tuesday the government needs to make targeted interventions to shield the economy from the impact of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran without a lasting effect on interest rates.
“The Chancellor was clear that the government needs to be responsive and responsible – learning the lessons of the previous government’s response to the 2022 energy crisis,” Downing Street said in a statement after a meeting of the Middle East Response Committee.
