希利强调增长目标 工党政府需坚守财政纪律

英国财政大臣约翰·希利在七月上任后首次发表重要演讲，表示推动经济增长将是其任期的核心使命 1。希利强调，10月28日的预算案首要任务是支持英国实现更强劲的经济增长，同时政府必须继续遵守自设的2029-30年财政规则 1。

英国10年期借贷成本上周升至18年高位，政府面临长期债券收益率上升的压力 1。希利表示，工党必须"对控制政府支出的必要性保持诚实" 1。同时，他重申工党不对工薪阶层加税的政策承诺 1。

此外，政府正等待前工党内阁部长艾伦·米尔本关于青年失业的审查结果 1。演讲当天，捷豹路虎公司宣布裁员4000人 1。

Chancellor John Healey has outlined his economic priorities in his first major speech since taking office in July, emphasizing that driving stronger growth will be central to his tenure while maintaining strict control over public spending 1. Speaking at a manufacturing center in Coventry, Healey stressed that the government's October 28 budget will prioritize supporting British economic expansion, but he warned that Labour must remain "honest about the need to control government spending" 1.

Healey's remarks come as the UK faces mounting financial pressure, with ten-year borrowing costs having surged to an eighteen-year high in the previous week 1. Despite these headwinds, the Chancellor committed to adhering to the government's self-imposed fiscal rules through 2029-30 and reaffirmed Labour's pledge not to raise taxes on working people 1. The timing of his speech coincided with Jaguar Land Rover's announcement of 4,000 job cuts on the same day, underlining the economic challenges confronting the nation 1. The government is also awaiting results from a review on youth unemployment being conducted by former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn 1.
