Government Borrowing Drops Sharply in December, But Still Above 2023 Levels

The reduction, driven by increased tax revenue and National Insurance contributions, was lower than economists' forecasts but still exceeded pre-pandemic levels. The rise in receipts reflects changes to National Insurance and the ongoing freeze to income tax thresholds.
