Public Borrowing Lower Than Forecast
The UK's public sector borrowing fell to £6.5bn in October, coming under the expected level by £300 million. Borrowing, excluding financial interventions, was down from £7.7bn last year, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The October figure was slightly lower than expected, as growth in tax revenue overtook the level of spending. Borrowing between April and September was also down by £1.7bn, according to the ONS. Economists had forecast that October's borrowing would be about £6.8bn.
