Some forex analysts believe that although British government is confident to cut deficit according to the emergent budget bills, yet a large-scale reduction of expenditure will have affects on economic recovery process.
Ian Stannard, forex strategist of BNP Paribas in London states that even if other rating institutes behave actively after UK announced its emergent budget bills, UK does not seem to be entirely out of the scrape.
