Abstract

As borrowing costs soar and the pound falters, Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces mounting pressure to stabilise the UK’s public finances. Difficulties include limited room for tax rises, sluggish growth and stubborn inflation. Iain Begg writes that the government must confront hard choices on debt, welfare and investment, before markets lose confidence.
