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.
Now we are in a post Covid 19 world. UK’s HM Government needs to fund many new demands. [www.dmo.gov.uk]

Another deficit month, thus to bridge the gap, needs to borrow on the bond market In November 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” 5 auctions of Gilts (UK Government Bonds) by the UK Debt Management Office to raise cash for HM Treasury:-

23-Nov-2022 0¼% Treasury Gilt 2025 £3,559.5000 Million
15-Nov-2022 1% Treasury Gilt 2032 £3,250.0000 Million
15-Nov-2022 0 7/8% Treasury Gilt 2046 £2,250.0000 Million
10-Nov-2022 4 1/8% Treasury Gilt 2027 £4,374.9980 Million
09-Nov-2022 0 7/8% Green Gilt 2033 £2,750.0000 Million

£3,559.5000 Million + £3,250.0000 Million + £2,250.0000 Million + £4,374.9980 Million + £2,750.0000 Million = £16,184.498 Million

£16,184.498 Million = £16.184498 Billion

On another way of looking at it, is in the 30 days in November 2022, HM Government borrowed:- £539.48326666666666666666666666667 Million each day for the 30 days.

We are fortunate, while the global banking and financial markets still has the confidence in HM Government to buy the Gilts (Lend money to the UK), the budget deficit keeps rising. What is also alarming, is the dates these bonds maturing from 2025 to 2046. All long-term borrowings, we are mortgaging our futures, but at least “We Are In It Together……”
