🚨 IMF URGES HEALEY TO TARGET SAVINGS ON PENSIONS AND WELFARE The International Monetary Fund has urged John Healey to target savings on pensions and welfare. It said this instead of taxing Britain’s banks at the budget later this month. Helge Berger, deputy director of the IMF’s European department, was asked about bank taxes after the Guardian revealed Healey plans to tap the sector for additional revenue.
