Transatlantic Perspectives:
The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) was passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Biden on August 16, 2022. This landmark United States federal law aims to curb inflation by reducing the deficit, lowering prescription drug prices, and investing into domestic energy production while promoting clean energy.
This month, we bring you perspectives on the law from our U.S. and Europe teams.
On March 9, 2023, President Biden unveiled his 2024 budget proposal in Pennsylvania, a staged event that had not been done in years.
