LONDON (Reuters) – British finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng said it was a “very good day for the UK” on Friday, after he set out tax cuts and huge increases in borrowing in a statement that floored financial markets, with sterling and British government bonds in freefall.
Asked whether the fall in sterling was good for the economy, he said: “I don’t comment on market movements.”
