UK's Fiscal Vulnerability Highlighted by OBR

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has raised alarms about the United Kingdom's fiscal stability in its latest Fiscal Risks and Sustainability report. Published on Tuesday, the report underscores the nation's ongoing vulnerability to global economic shocks.

Despite efforts to stabilize the UK's balance sheet, the OBR found that progress has been "limited and temporary." The watchdog pointed out, "Against this more challenging domestic and global backdrop, the scale and array of risks to the UK fiscal outlook remains daunting."

This situation not only weakens the UK's resilience to future shocks but also places additional strain on public finances, according to the report.
