What is a Truss-style crisis?
A 'Truss-style crisis' refers to the market turmoil seen in September 2022 after then-Prime Minister Liz Truss's mini-Budget. It saw a rapid fall in the value of the pound and a sharp rise in government borrowing costs. Haldane fears a similar loss of investor confidence if the government delays tough spending decisions now.
