Budget special: what it means for your money, the stocks that jumped, and why companies could be pleased at the tax changes

Danni Hewson makes her debut as the new co-host of the podcast and joins Dan and Tom to analyse the key points from Rishi Sunak’s 2021 Budget.

They discuss the key points relevant to savers and investors, such as the state of play with pensions and ISAs, as well as the new green savings bond being planned by the NS&I.

Danni looks at the economic forecasts for the UK, while Dan gets stuck into the impact of tax cuts for companies on investing in equipment and why this could be good news.

You can also discover the stocks that moved the most on the Budget and why changes to corporation tax may not be as bad as feared.

Finally, Tom considers all the bits that were predicted to happen yet didn’t crop up in the Budget.

Presented by Danni Hewson, Dan Coatsworth and Tom Selby of AJ Bell
