Another month, same old story, HM Government, spends more money than it receives via taxes. Another deficit month, thus to bridge the gap, needs to borrow on the bond market.<\/p>\n

In August 2013, 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.<\/p>\n

There were 4 auctions of Gilts (UK Government Bonds) by the UK Debt Management Office (http:\/\/www.dmo.gov.uk\/<\/a>) to raise cash for HM Treasury:-<\/p>\n

20-Aug-2013 0 1\/8% Index-linked Treasury Gilt 2019\u00a0 \u00a31,794,585,000<\/strong>
\n15-Aug-2013 4\u00bd% Treasury Gilt 2034 \u00a32,250,000,000<\/strong>
\n08-Aug-2013 0\u00be% Index-linked Treasury Gilt 2034 \u00a31,408,087,000<\/strong>
\n06-Aug-2013 1\u00bc% Treasury Gilt 2018 \u00a34,931,465,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you add the cash raised:-<\/p>\n

\u2211(\u00a31,794,585,000 + \u00a32,250,000,000\u00a0 + \u00a31,408,087,000 + \u00a34,931,465,000) = \u00a310,384,137,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a310,384,137,000\u00a0 = \u00a310,384 Million<\/strong> = \u00a310.384 Billion<\/strong><\/p>\n

On another way of looking at it, is in the 30 days in August HM Government borrowed:-<\/p>\n

\u00a3346<\/strong> million<\/strong> each day for 30 days. We are fortunate, the global banking and financial markets still has the confidence in HM Government to buy the Gilts. The budget deficit keeps rising. What is also alarming, is the dates these bond mature, 2018, 2019 and 2034. All long term borrowings, we are mortgaging our futures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
