Debt management report 2017-18

The ‘Debt management report’ (DMR) is published in accordance with the ‘Charter for Budget Responsibility’.1 The Charter requires the Treasury to “report through a debt management report – published annually – on its plans for borrowing for each financial year” and to set remits for its agents. The Charter requires the report to include: the overall size of the debt financing programme for each financial year; the planned maturity structure of gilt issuance and the proportion of index-linked and conventional gilt issuance; a target for net financing through NS&I. The UK Debt Management Office (DMO) publishes detailed information on developments in debt management and the gilt market over the previous year in its ‘Annual Review’. Chapters 2 and 3 along with annexes A and B contain information on the government’s wholesale debt management activities. Information about financing from NS&I is set out in annex C. The Exchequer cash management remit for 2017-18 is contained in annex D.
