 LONDON (AP) - British Treasury chief Gordon Brown said the country's economy is growing, with inflation on target, as he presented his 10th annual budget Wednesday.
"The British economy is strong and strengthening," Brown told Parliament, as he unveiled a package that is being closely examined for clues to how Brown would act as prime minister — a job he is expected to take when Tony Blair steps down at a still unknown date.
Brown said that Britain's gross domestic product would grow by 2 percent to 2.5 percent in the coming year, and by 2.75 to 3.25 percent in 2007-8.
