  • Healey plan to slash headroom would ‘not be received well’ by nervous bond market

    Markets

    John Healey’s reported plans to slash the breathing space the government has before it breaks its spending rules would spark a negative bond market reaction and lead investors to question the country’s commitment to fiscal credibility.
