- PSNCR
- The public sector net cash requirement is a measurement of the UK government's borrowing requirement, i.e. the difference between what the government spends each year and what it receives in taxes. The market watches the PSNCR closely because it reflects actual cash flows each month. Public sector net borrowing is the government's preferred measure, as it is calculated on an accruals basis which smooths out monthly fluctuations. It also excludes financial transactions such as privatization proceeds.
