It's a rare good news day for Chancellor
0:02
Rachel Reeves today because the Office
0:04
for National Statistics has recorded a
0:06
fiscal surplus in January of more than
0:09
30 billion pounds. Uh this is
0:11
significant because it's the highest
0:13
ever fiscal surplus in a single month
0:16
recorded by the Office for National
0:17
Statistics since records began in the
0:20
early 1990s. So we can see the surplus
0:23
in January of uh30 billion pounds almost
0:27
double that of the previous January uh
0:29
of around 15 billion.
