Dumfriesshire International News: UK Public Debt Passes £1 trillion marker.


Britains total debt reaches a record high, but Decembers borrowing is lower than expected.

The UK sovereign borrowing debt pile rose above £1 trillion for the first time ever in December. Newly released official figures show that net debt, excluding any financial interventions reached £1,003.9bn, equal to around 64.2% of GDP.

The £1tr mark was breached despite the fact that public borrowing in December (£13.7bn) was lower than analysts predicted (£14.9bn).

Economists warned that a return to a recession if the government step in to cut deficits could throw the deficit reduction strategy off course leading to Britain being worse off in the long run.
