2010 to 2015 government policy: deficit reduction

Reducing the deficit - the gap between what we spend and raise in taxes – is central to the government’s economic plans. We also want to correct the imbalance between the public and private sectors that built up in the decade before the financial crisis began.

HM Treasury and The Rt Hon George Osborne
