Yes if you want to borrow money off people you should try to act like a safe, secure borrower. It's not really that surprising or any great conspiracy.So we all agree the markets/financial institutions run the world economy, play the game and you’ll be ok, try anything we don’t like and your ucked - exactly my point
Let's break it down. The UK has a budget. Lizz Truss decided she wanted to cut taxes to give money back to the richest people in the UK. This means the UK has less money coming in. However she said she wasn't going to spend any less money, so now she has a financial black hole. To fill this hole she said she would borrow money. If you want to borrow money, as Government, you sell gilts, which are essentially IOUs. Lend us money, we will pay you interest on it. This borrowing is largely from the private sector, some within the UK, some sold to institutions abroad. If you are a clueless idiot and don't bother to run your numbers past the Office for Budget Responsibility, and if you spring the announcement of 40 billion quid in financial deficit halfway through the financial year, and you do this out of nowhere and when nobody knew it was coming, then the people you are asking to give you all those billions are probably going to ask for more interest because now they have less confidence in you. Imagine being in a pub and seeing some local drunk putting twenty after twenty in the fruit machine, and while he is doing it he is asking if he can borrow money off you. You might do a litle risk assesment in your head and consider whether that is a good use of your money.
These institutions only 'run the world economy' when a government like ours asks them to lend us billions of pounds. If you behave responsibly, plan ahead and show long term stability, have a well functioning economy, the cost of borrowing will be very low and it can be a great opportunity. Borrow a little now to invest and get future growth out of it. But it has to be done the right way.
