City welcomes reports Healey will reverse cuts to cash Isa allowance in the budget – business live

Chancellor John Healey is reportedly set to reverse plans to cut the annual cash Isa allowance from £20,000 to £12,000. This decision is a welcome relief to the City, as experts had criticized the proposed change for adding unnecessary complexity to the Isa system. The reversal means that individuals will still be able to invest up to £20,000 in cash Isas each year. This change is likely to boost investor confidence and encourage more people to invest in the stock market.
