Act Soon to Change 'Unsustainable' Direction of UK Debt, OBR Warns The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has issued a stark warning about the unsustainable trajectory of UK debt.
The OBR's latest fiscal risks and sustainability report paints a grim picture of a public finances system careening out of control.
Driven by an aging population, rising defense spending, and skyrocketing health and pension costs, the OBR projects that without intervention, debt will spiral out of control from around the 2040s.
