More quotes by George Osborne
No other chancellor in the long history of the office has felt the need to pass a law in order to convince people he has the political will to implement his own Budget.
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
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne
We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.
George Osborne
Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.
George Osborne
The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.
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

George Osborne
Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.
George Osborne

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
Britain wants the single currency to be a success. It is massively in our interests that we have a stable financial system on our doorstep.
George Osborne
Even a China growing at 7% or indeed less is still adding to the world economy an economy equivalent to the UK or more.
George Osborne
A generous basic state pension is the least a civilized society should offer those who have worked hard and saved through their whole lives.
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
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
[Banks] have a clear obligation to help get this country off its addiction to debt because they sure as hell helped to get this country addicted to debt.
George Osborne
I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
George Osborne
Britain is China's best partner in the West.
