UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves discusses the fiscal measures announced in her budget yesterday. "We have now put our public finances on a stable and a solid trajectory, including through difficult decisions on increasing taxes," Reeves told Bloomberg’s Lizzy Burden. She also comments on the Office for Budget Responsibility’s growth forecasts and the government’s spending plans. Reeves’ budget triggered a negative market reaction as traders digested the scale of the borrowing implied by the announcements.
