Konjunktur: Großbritannien zahlt Rekordzinsen für neue Schulden
Die Zinsen auf langlaufende britische Staatsanleihen liegen so hoch wie seit 1998 nicht mehr. Die Platzierung trifft dennoch auf eine hohe Nachfrage.
The United Kingdom is paying record-high interest rates for new debt, marking a new high in the government's debt management. On Tuesday, the UK Debt Management Office issued a £4.25 billion 30-year government bond, with a yield of 5.8168 percent, the highest since the Financial Services Authority was founded in 1998. This surge in borrowing costs adds pressure to the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Healey's budget.
Rising global financial market tensions, driven by ongoing inflation concerns fueled by higher oil prices due to the conflict between the US and Iran, have driven up the expense of long-term credit worldwide. The UK is particularly affected, holding the second-highest financing costs among the G10 industrial nations, after Australia.
This development complicates budget planning for Healey, who is set to present his first budget on October 28th, emphasizing fiscal discipline. Even before the recent escalation in the Middle East, the government's fiscal room was extremely limited.
