Rachel Reeves will have to bring out a sharp consumption reduction to make up for the higher borrowing costs in their spring statement this month, investigators warned, as the recent increase in bond yields enhances the pressure on the UK chancellor.

AND Budgetary office On Wednesday, they said that his preliminary fiscal forecasts were based on the cost of borrowing the UK during 10 working days by February 12, which excludes a recent increase in gilding yield.

Capital Economics analysts said Reeves was on their way to missing his key fiscal goal with a marginal margin of £ 1.6 billion, partly due to the higher borrowing costs during the Ob window.

However, if the latest period is used to assess interest rates, the damage would be almost £ 1 billion higher, they said.

Investors said the figures emphasized the need to increase the public finances on March 26. More than the minimum of the minimum forecast of ORA to convince the market that it holds a deficit under control.

David Zahn, the head of the European fixed revenue with the manager of the property of Franklin Templeton, said that on March 26, he formed a “huge day” for the Gilts market. He said investors expect significant consumption reductions.

“If they come not much [in terms of cuts]Gilts will be under pressure again, “said Zahn.” It’s a very good line that they walk. “

Reeves was under growing fiscal pressure, because the budget was made up of bonds, the growth was stagnant and borrowing overpowered the expectations.

Recently, yields have begun to burn again, guided by investors’ expectations that Europe will have to borrow more to finance the cost of defense – the dynamics of a dramatic display last week with German plans for funding hundreds of billions of euros in military and infrastructure consumption with debt.

The 10-year gilded yield on Wednesday was 4.7 percent, and below 4.4 percent at a recent low intradion low in early February. The yields go the opposite for prices.

“Given that the international position is unlikely to be easier to renew, renew the head space in October, feels like a minimum – in ideal case that they should go this,” said Ben Nabarro, a British economist on Cita.

He said that could mean the construction of £ 15 billion in a head of head in a spring statement. “With worse news, probably, further tax increases are a matter of when, not if.”

Reeves previously made her statement on March 26 as a routine briefing to the home home after the OR forecast. She promised that in the fall, she would only hold one “main fiscal event” annually, which implies that tax changes will only come once a year.

It is now expected to reveal further withdrawal in public finances, with the benefit of the goal scores. High government officials have insisted that the social welfare system – which are expected to save at least £ 5 billion, is expected to be executed, regardless of the state of public finance.

“It would happen if the head room was £ 2 billion or £ 20 billion,” one official said.

Reeves in October left £ 9.9 billion Heads against her key fiscal reign, which requires her to fully finance consumption completely with tax income by 2029-30.

However, an increase in yields immediately after the October budget pointed to the Jitters investors about the fine marginal marginal marginal marginal – in the context of the Government, which consumes 1.3 to £ a year.

The 10-year-old gilding yields touched the 16-year maximum in January at 4.93 percent, as economic concerns in the UK were mixed with the sale of global bonds, enhancing concerns about the chancellor’s ability to hit their budget rules before the debt gathered.

While Donald Trump has gone doubts about Europe in recent weeks due to American dedication to European security, borrowing costs have climbed again.

“The movements we have seen in recent times in the yield, [the] The head decreases quickly, “said Craig Inse, the boss of the price and cash at the Royal London Asset Management.

Goldman Sachs said in a note on Tuesday that he expects a reduction in consumption of around 10 billion pounds a year to the end of the forecast, while the chancellor offers to restore her fiscal head space.

He believes that new projections are most likely to show the Government that “closely missing” its current deficiency goal, with projections for interest costs that are likely to “significantly increase”.

On Wednesday, Oba announced that his fiscal forecast would also include audits in the GDP data published at the end of September, but who came too late to introduce in his October prognosis.

These audits would raise the starting point for the size of the economy in its budget forecast, but in the deciduous appearance he said that they would not “materially” influence his growth forecasts and inflation that they were able to count them.

Analysts said Reeves could acquire a certain flexibility thanks to Prime Minister Sir Keira Starmer to attack the budget for foreign assistance in the UK to finance his £ 6 billion annual increase in defense costs by 2027.

Some of this consumption will probably be treated as capital expenditures, which is not counted in the Reeves rule that requires that it records the current budget excess in 2029-30.

“The dedication to the Government with fiscal rules and healthy public finances is not negotiating,” said the treasure spokesman. “We do not comment on the speculation about the prognosis of OR.”
