Pound falls as borrowing costs rise to highest since 2008
Briefly

The UK 10-year borrowing costs surged to their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, indicating a significant rise in government borrowing challenges that could threaten economic stability.
Shadow chancellor Mel Stride criticized the Chancellor's spending and borrowing plans, arguing that they are driving up the costs of government borrowing, contradicting efforts to establish a resilient economy.
Gabriel McKeown highlighted that the increase in borrowing costs undermined Labour's fiscal strategy, raising concerns over the viability of their investment commitments and potentially impacting future spending plans.
The pound saw a notable decline, dropping by as much as 1.1% to $1.233, reflecting investor concerns tied to the UK’s increasing government borrowing costs.
