Authorities borrowing stays at highest since pandemic

Authorities borrowing is at its highest because the pandemic as a consequence of public sector pay rises and the excessive price of borrowing, official figures present.

Final month had the third highest September borrowing on file, coming solely behind 2020 and 2021, based on knowledge from the Workplace for Nationwide Statistics (ONS).

Whereas more cash got here in from tax, it was outweighed by elevated spending which the ONS stated was partly as a consequence of larger rates of interest on the debt and public sector pay rises.

However the hole between what the federal government took in and what it spent was lower than anticipated.

The chief secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones defended the pay rises by saying strikes would price the financial system extra.

“Strikes cost at least £3bn last year, so it was the right thing to do to end those damaging disputes,” he stated.

“We have inherited a £22bn black hole in the country’s public finances, including no plan to fund pay deals for millions of public sector workers… Resolving this blackhole at the budget next week will require difficult decisions to fix the foundations of our economy and begin delivering on the promise of change.”
