TradingView, citing RTT News and dpa-AFX, reported that UK public sector net borrowing (PSNB) came in at 24.52 billion pounds sterling in September.

The public sector net cash requirement (PSNCR) stood at 16.94 billion pounds. The PSNB-EX measure, which excludes public sector banks, also showed 24.52 billion pounds.

why it matters

Government borrowing data matters for the UK gilt market, since the volume of debt issuance affects bond yields and expectations about fiscal policy. The pound also responds to the state of public finances.
