Welsh Government: Borrowing

Asked by David ChadwickLiberal DemocratTreasuryTabled Answered 9 December 2025UIN 95769

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish the Treasury’s analysis of how far the uplifts to Welsh Government borrowing and reserve limits restore the real-terms value of those limits since they were set a decade ago.

Answered by James Murray

As announced at Autumn Budget 2025 there will be a 10% increase to annual and cumulative capital borrowing limits and the Wales Reserve overall and annual drawdown limits in 2026-27 which will increase the real value of the Welsh Government’s budget management tools.
