Rishi Sunak added that the reason financial markets was because they expected the UK government to clamp down on borrowing and minimize spending.

The financial conditions in the United Kingdom have been established clearly, but they have been stabilized because the citizens of the UK expect the government to take several decisions that will put their public finances on a sustainable trajectory, and it is the UK government’s job to deliver on that, said Rishi Sunak.

According to Sunak, they must be delivering on the expectations of international markets, especially to ensure that their fiscal position is on a more sustainable trajectory.
