Another month, guess what, take a lucky guess, it is the same old story, HM Government, spends more money than it receives via taxes and duties.

Another deficit month, thus to bridge the gap, needs to borrow on the bond market In May 2022, the HM Government had to borrow money to meet the difference between tax revenues and public sector expenditure. The term for this is The PSNCR: The Public Sector Net Cash Requirement. There were only 4 auctions of Gilts (UK Government Bonds) by the UK Debt Management Office to raise cash for HM Treasury:-

24-May-2022 0 1/8% Index-linked Treasury Gilt 2039 3 months £847.7000 Million

11-May-2022 0½% Treasury Gilt 2029 £2,500.0000 Million
10-May-2022 0 7/8% Green Gilt 2033 £2,250.0000 Million

£847.7000 Million + £2,187.4990 Million + £2,500.0000 Million + £2,250.0000 Million = £7,785.199 Million

£7,785.199 Million = £7.785199 Billion

On another way of looking at it, is in the 31 days in May 2022, HM Government borrowed:- £251.13545161290322580645161290323 Million each day for the 31 days.

What is also alarming, is the dates these bond mature, from 2020 to 2051. All long term borrowings, we are mortgaging our futures, but at least “We Are In It Together……“
