Economic Situation: Government Securities

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 13 January 2025 to Question 22013 on Economic Situation, whether bond yields will be included in the other metrics of financial market indicators in relation to economic stability.

Answer

As the Prime Minister set out in the Plan for Change document, the Government’s milestones for change can only be delivered on the foundations of a stable economy, secure borders, and national security. Economic stability requires concerted action to ensure macroeconomic stability, financial stability, fiscal stability, and long-term policy stability.

The commitment to our tough fiscal rules is non-negotiable, and we will meet the fiscal rules at all times.

HM Treasury considers a wide range of information to assess financial conditions, including a range of financial market indicators, and works with the financial sector regulators to monitor markets.
