The new Surrey Economic Commission will bring together experts from business, education, infrastructure, health and the public sector to explore how Surrey can build on its economic strengths and create future growth opportunities. Chaired by Andy Haldane, former Chief Economist at the Bank of England, the commission will develop action-focused recommendations by March 2027 to help Surrey compete nationally and internationally.

Alongside the commission, Royal Holloway, University of London will produce an independent socio-economic impact report assessing Surrey’s progress over the past six years. The work will support Surrey's ambitions as local government reorganisation and devolution progress.
