Why the Chancellor's Budget 'headroom' is drawing attention
Original: The Budget: Why everyone is obsessed with the Chancellor's 'headroom' | Ed Conway explains
Sky News economics editor Ed Conway explains the concept of fiscal 'headroom' — the margin between the Chancellor's tax and spending plans and her self-imposed borrowing rules — and why it has become a focal point of Budget debate. Large audiences are tuning in to understand how much room the government has left before breaking its fiscal targets, a figure that shapes expectations of future tax rises or spending cuts.
Why now: A Budget announcement has put the Chancellor's fiscal headroom at the centre of public and media scrutiny of the UK economy.
