Chancellor Rachel Reeves outlined a new fiscal policy focused on public sector net financial liabilities, ensuring that the additional borrowing is strictly for capital investment projects, not everyday expenses.
Reeves stated, 'This investment is not to pay for day-to-day spending or tax giveaways,' emphasizing a commitment to fiscal discipline while allowing for substantial long-term capital project funding.
With the new fiscal framework, Reeves mentioned a 'stability rule' which will mandate balancing day-to-day revenues with expenditures, aiming to reverse the trend of declining public investment.
While announcing the policy shift, Reeves emphasized that the aim is to break from falling public investment rates and manage economic volatility effectively.
