LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - Britain remains on track
for a record fall in living standards over the two years to the
end of March 2024, despite an upward revision to growth
forecasts, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) said on
Wednesday.
The OBR said that real household disposable income per
person was on course to fall by a cumulative 5.7% over 2022/23
and 2023/24, 1.4 percentage points less than it forecast in
November but still the biggest two-year drop since records began
in 1956/57.
