英国政府上月借贷支出达到£24.5bn，超过独立预算责任办公室的预期£1.9bn1。这一数字反映了政府债务利息成本的大幅上升，其中债务利息支付创下9月以来新高，达到£10.9bn1。伊朗战争推高能源成本对政府财政造成压力，仅9月一个月就增加了£4bn的债务利息成本1。
截至本年初至今，英国公共部门净借贷累计为£97.8bn，低于去年同期£4.4bn，但高于预算责任办公室此前的预期£6bn1。政府总债务首次突破£3tn，虽然占英国经济规模的比例从95%下降至94%1。财政长约翰·希利将在下周三公布其首份预算案1，其前任财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯为其留下的财政缓冲为£24bn1。
The UK government's monthly borrowing reached £24.5 billion, exceeding independent forecasts by £1.9 billion 1. The spike was largely driven by increased debt servicing costs, with interest payments on government debt hitting £10.9 billion—the highest level since September 1. Rising energy costs stemming from conflict in Iran have intensified inflationary pressures, adding approximately £4 billion to debt interest expenses in September alone 1.
Chancellor John Healey faces mounting budgetary constraints as he prepares to unveil his first budget announcement next Wednesday 1. Public sector net borrowing from the start of the fiscal year stands at £97.8 billion, below the previous year's figure but exceeding the Office for Budget Responsibility's projection of £6 billion 1. While total government debt has reached £3 trillion for the first time, it has declined as a proportion of economic output, falling from 95 percent to 94 percent 1. Healey is working within a fiscal cushion of £24 billion established by his predecessor, Rachel Reeves 1.
