Royaume-Uni Valeur des budgets du gouvernement

Public sector net borrowing, excluding public sector banks, in the UK rose slightly to £10.7 billion in February 2025 from £10.6 billion a year earlier, exceeding the expected £6.6 billion. Total public sector spending increased by £3.8 billion year-on-year, driven by higher departmental spending on goods, services, and local government operations. Meanwhile, total receipts rose by £3.7 billion, boosted by higher income and corporation tax revenues. For the financial year to February 2025, borrowing reached £132.2 billion—£14.7 billion higher than the previous year and £20.4 billion above the OBR’s £111.8 billion forecast. This was the third highest FY to February borrowing since monthly records began in 1993.
