Prime Minister Liz Truss said the U.K. must examine its tax rates as her new government seeks to stimulate growth, signaling she may deliver some of her leadership campaign promises as soon as this week.

In a round of broadcast interviews on Tuesday, the premier — in office for just two weeks — also suggested she’s prepared to take unpopular decisions in order to boost the country’s competitiveness, including tax cuts that benefit the rich more than the poor and proposals to scrap a cap on banker’s bonuses.

“I’m prepared to take unpopular decisions, difficult decisions, if what it means is it makes our country more competitive, and more successful,” Truss told Channel 5 in New York, where she’s attending the United Nations General Assembly. “We’re delivering jobs and investment across the country. And part of that is having a successful financial services industry that is competitive with the rest of the world.”

Truss spoke three days before Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng is due to set out the government’s new fiscal plans as ministers seek to deliver on economic promises made by the premier over the summer during the Conservative Party leadership contest. Kwarteng believes the change to the bonus regime would make London more attractive, two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg last week.

Truss told the BBC that the UK will have to look at its tax rates as it pursues growth, and appeared to confirm that Kwarteng’s planned statement on Friday will include measures promised during her leadership campaign to reverse this year’s 1.25 percentage-point increase in National Insurance, a payroll tax, and to scrap next year’s planned rise in corporation tax to 25% from 19%.

“I’ll always work to make sure that we are helping those who are struggling,” Truss said. “That’s why we took the action that we took on energy bills because we didn’t want to see households facing unaffordable bills. And that’s why we’re going to take the action on National Insurance, reversing that increase as well.”

She went on to say that corporation tax “needs to be competitive with other countries so that we can attract that investment.”

Expensive Plans

The premier also signaled she sees room to increase the national debt, already at a level not seen since the 1960s as a share of economic output.

Truss has made a slew of expensive promises including a plan to freeze household bills that could reach 130 billion pounds ($148 billion), as well as a package to help businesses with their energy bills that could cost PS40 billion. On top of that, she’s promised more than PS30 billion in tax cuts. Asked how she can afford her plans, Truss told Channel 5: “The UK has one of the lowest levels of debt as a proportion of GDP of G-7 nations so we are doing well on that metric.”

“We will strain every sinew as a government to get growth going,” Truss said. Truss and Kwarteng have said they’re determined to introduce major post-Brexit reforms to the City of London by cutting red tape in order to boost growth.
