This forecast surpasses predictions by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), which suggests that Ms. Reeves would need to raise taxes by about £25 billion by 2028/29 to avoid a return to austerity measures.\n\nCapital Economics also anticipates that the Chancellor will implement a £25 billion annual tax increase by 2029/30, alongside a £18 billion annual increase in borrowing to fund a potential £53 billion rise in public investment.\n\nBank of America further predicts that the Budget will include an annual borrowing increase of around £22 billion to finance these investment initiatives.\n\nAccording to Bank of America, Ms. Reeves’s budgetary strategy could result in national borrowing being 0.7% higher as a percentage of GDP compared to March projections."}
