Vereinigtes Königreich von Großbritannien und Nordirland Haushaltssaldo

Public sector net borrowing (excluding public sector banks) in the UK decreased to £1.1 billion in July 2025 from £3.4 billion in the same month last year, below market expectations of £2.6 billion. This was the lowest level of borrowing in three years, with inflation having a little impact on debt interest payable, following a large rise affecting last month. Total public sector spending increased by £6.9 billion, amid higher spending on public services, benefits, and debt interest. Meanwhile, total receipts rose by £9.2 billion, largely due to an £8.7 billion increase in central government tax and National Insurance contribution receipts. Borrowing for the financial year to July reached £60 billion, up £6.7 billion from the same four-month period of 2024, marking the third-highest April to July borrowing on record, after 2020 and 2021. Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks was equivalent to 96.1% of GDP at the end of July.
