The latest public sector finance figures are out for July 2026.

Borrowing - the difference between total public sector spending and income - was £1.8 billion in July 2026, £0.7 billion more than a year ago.

Commenting on today’s public sector finances figures, ONS Chief Economist Grant Fitzner said:

“Public sector borrowing was lower in the financial year to date than in the same period last year, both in total and as a share of the economy. However, it is above the OBR spring forecast.

“Conversely, borrowing was slightly higher this month than in July last year, with spending growth outpacing higher receipts, including from self-assessed taxes which often feed in more strongly in July.”
