Rishi Sunak is expected to include a host of actions to kickstart the UK economy in Wednesday’s Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned that Britain’s public finances will face “enormous strains” in the wake of the latest national lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of Wednesday’s Budget announcement, Mr Sunak told the Financial Times a bill for the government’s \u00a3280bn investment in coronavirus support will eventually have to be paid, with low interest rates leaving the nation’s finances “exposed”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Sunak said: “We now have far more debt than we used to and because interest rates\u2026 at least a month or two ago were exceptionally low, that means we remain exposed to changes in those rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s why I talk about levelling with people about the public finances [challenges] and our plans to address them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Mr Sunak did not reveal any details on specific tax measures, the Budget is expected to include a swathe of actions aimed at kickstarting the UK economy as lockdown eases over the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include a \u00a3126m boost for traineeships and a mortgage guarantee scheme aimed at helping aspiring homeowners with small deposits on to the property ladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He plans to incentivise lenders to provide mortgages to first-time buyers, and current homeowners, with just 5% deposits to buy properties worth up to \u00a3600,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Sunak added that while there is a challenge facing the nation’s economy, he believes the Budget will be a much-needed boon for those hit hardest by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: “I stood up at the beginning of this [coronavirus] thing and said I will do whatever it takes to protect the British people through this crisis and I remain committed to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We went big, we went early, but there is more to come and there will be more to come in the Budget. But there is a challenge [in the public finances] and I want to level with people about the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Some 750,000 people have lost their jobs and I want to make sure we provide those people with hope and opportunity. Next week’s Budget will do that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
