Rulla Khalaf, the FT editor, chooses its preferred stories in this week’s news.

In the next week’s spring statement, Rachel Reeves is planned to cost more than 10 billion pounds for reductions of more than 10 billion pounds, a fiscal hole in the deferral growth and higher loan costs.

The people in the speeches of the Chancellor Next Wednesday say that the shifts that include more than 5 billion pounds, as well as the recent declaration of well-known well-being, will help him meet its fiscal rule to 2029-30.

They add that Reeves’ statement accuses its problems in the “changing world” will make a terrible reading.

The Independent Budget Responsibility Office (OB) is expected to be reduced by about 2% growth of 2025.

Treasurer’s officials are added that the UK’s fiscal position may deteriorate if US President Donald Trump is getting worse, and forces will be presented in the autumn budget of this year.

“All our programs can tap the course,” he said one of the Chancellor’s allies.

But Reeves, in a chamber of communities that are expected to last for up to half an hour, will claim that Britain is “uniquely well fit” for global storms.

He challenged that the Prime Minister had established close ties with Trump that the ministers hoped for the most expensive tariffs in the United States.

The Chancellor will emphasize the need for solid state finance, public service reforms and the need to go further and quickly to promote growth.

Predictive requirements that Revez suffer, one ally says:

In October, OBR’s forecast that Reeves would meet its main fiscal rule, demanding balancing the current budget, which excludes investment costs only 9.9 billion pounds.

This thin attic has been erased, due to growth growth, higher than expected loan figures and higher interest rate, OBR received the preliminary predictions of the treasurer last month.

Since then, the treasury has been working fast.

It hopes to do this, reaching about 10 billion pounds of 15 billion pounds at the end of the parliament.

The government hopes that its efforts to reduce the growth of daily department will save more than 5 billion pounds until the end of the parliament.

But many independent analysts have criticized last year from conservatives to the workforce, who were conducted last year from conservatives.

Further part of the efforts of fiscal consolidation will be 5 billion pounds stated this week, which was announced this week as part of the reform of the disability and disease benefits.

On Wednesday, the OBR will provide an impact of these reforms on growth and employment. Evaluation of the impact on how the plants will also take off the lawsuit, as it will be published and is likely to be very politically sensitive.

Reeves will make “security” the theme of his speech, emphasizing 6 billion pounds of funded defense expenditures funded by foreign aid budget.

This switch will create 2 billion pounds per year, as the share of defense deployments will be used as capital investments.

The government hopes that the fiscal gap will also help to fill in the tax failure process.

Reeves do not plan to increase tax rates, as he promises not to take two budgets a year.

But on Friday, the need for fiscal consolidation emphasized the official data, which in February the loan is 10.7 billion pounds, compared to OBR by 6.5 billion pounds.

To date, the loan has been over the past 20 billion pounds above the forecasts of ABR, which was released in October.

Reeves will have some fear of presenting a few good news in his statement and seek work to raise the souls of the workforce.

He rushed to finish the financial package to provide the construction of the largest topics in Europe, as he is looking for good news to announce the next week’s spring statement.

People presented talks between the treasury and the universal directions and the experience of the US media company Comcast, say the discussions are “going well.”

But other state officials have warned that the deal was not removed and it is unlikely to be ready for next Wednesday.

The treasury said. “The next prediction of OBR will be presented to the parliament next to the March 26 statement.
