Abstract
This study focuses on economic turmoil in the UK between 06September and 19October2022 consequent on a “mini budget” announced by the then Chancellor. Contrary to pre-announcement growth expectations, UK firms lost about 0.30% in daily excess returns and £0.87 million in market value. UK's “Moron Risk Premium” increased by 0.48%. Analyses with Google Search Volume Index support this devastating effect on companies. Durables, construction, manufacturing, and wholesale & retail sectors were less affected by this economic turbulence. We concluded that the announced low-tax economic policy does not always convince markets of future growth, particularly during high inflation and political instability.
