I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.
George Osborne

What I'm interested in is Britain projecting itself abroad, and through that its values and the things it holds dear. And I don't think you do that by refusing to talk to the world's second-largest economy [China]. In fact, that is positively counter-productive in my view.
George Osborne
Image
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
George Osborne
Image
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
Image
You know the illusion of the cheap money is over and now Britain has to go out there and graft and earn its way and create wealth and prosperity in a very competitive world.

I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne

Britain cannot afford to cut itself off from what is going on in the world, we are too interconnected with what is going on, we have a powerful history and tradition of taking an interest in what is going on in the world, we've also got a very real interest in the future, in remaining connected.
George Osborne

We have supported the banks, they should be supporting the economy now.

We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.
George Osborne
Image
I want to see genuine talent rewarded.
George Osborne
Image
We have to be pretty tough with mortgage companies and say you have got to give people the chance to work out their debts, sort out future mortgages.
George Osborne
Image
If you're looking for ways to cut waste in government, you can start with John Prescott.
George Osborne
Image
I would say I have taken substantive action to make things easier for people.
George Osborne
Image
I'm not saying job done but I am actually pretty confident that Britain can be one of the biggest winners from these big global changes that are taking place and indeed become the richest of the major economies in the world in this coming generation.
George Osborne
Image
British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.
George Osborne
Image
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
Image
Britain has no divine right to be one of the richest countries in the world.
George Osborne
Image
There are plenty of people who don't want change - the Labour Party, some of their militant trade union friends like Unite busy causing strikes at the very beginning of a fragile recovery.
