More quotes by George Osborne
I think it is absolutely central to our economic plan as a country not only that we put our own house in order but that we better connect ourselves with other parts of the world, particularly the faster growing parts of the world.
George Osborne
You need to have a state pension that doesn't drag more and more people into means-testing each year and make it very difficult for people on low to medium term incomes to save and not see their savings clawed away.
George Osborne
The positive news is that the British economy is continuing to grow and is creating jobs. And it is positive news too that at a time of real international instability we are a safe haven in the storm.
George Osborne
What's interesting is whilst Shanghai has gone stellar - literally, in these massive buildings which have appeared since I first visited - Beijing has become a much more vibrant and interesting place. A lot more business is done here.
George Osborne
I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.
George Osborne
One big theme for me is that we have got to move from an economy built on debt to one where we save and invest in the future.
George Osborne

George Osborne
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne
I reject absolutely the idea that people should know their place, and know their class.
George Osborne

George Osborne
What makes people angry and we are on the side of hard-working people who want to get on in life and they see how government is wasting their money.
George Osborne
I think we woefully failed to connect Britain to the growing Chinese economy in the previous decade, and I have sought to remedy that. China is now the sixth biggest trading partner with the UK. We have attracted now the lion's share of Chinese investment that is going into Europe.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
George Osborne
We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.
George Osborne
I'm fed up with Britain being condemned to this future where we borrow the Chinese in order to buy from the Chinese the things that they make for us.
George Osborne
Britain is China's best partner in the West.
George Osborne
You also want to look at how the tax system encourages and rewards pension saving. I have set as an ambition reversing the effects of Gordon Brown's tax raid which heralded the beginning of the age of responsibility. We are looking at some very specific tax measures on how we can encourage saving.
George Osborne
We support the auto-enrolment but we have our doubts about the way the National Pension Scheme is going to be structured.
George Osborne
Establishing proper economic governance that allows the Eurozone to undertake the integration it needs whilst protecting the interests of the single market for all 28, the rights of member states who are not in the Euro - including of course the UK - is really important for the future of the European Union.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne
