As the Government\u2019s official independent forecaster, the Government has a close working relationship with the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). In the lead up to the recent Autumn Statement and accompanying OBR forecast, the OBR were engaged in the normal way. As is set out in the foreword of the OBR\u2019s November Economic and Fiscal Outlook (EFO), the forecast process involved the OBR producing multiple draft iterations of the forecasts which it shared with the Chancellor. These drafts included forecasts for Public Sector Net Debt. The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt also met with the OBR to discuss the forecast on the 17 October and 16 November.<\/p>

<\/p>

The OBR published an updated forecast for Public Sector Net Debt as part of their November 2022 Economic and Fiscal Outlook. The OBR forecast that Public Sector Net Debt for 2022-23 will be £2,571 billion or 101.9% of GDP.<\/p>

The Treasury does not publish forecasts of the economy or the public finances; the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is the UK\u2019s official forecaster. In their March 2022 forecast, the OBR projected that Public Sector Net Debt (PSND) for 2022-23 will be £2.4 trillion or 95.5% of GDP. Latest outturn data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows by the end of September, PSND had reached 98% of GDP.<\/p>

More broadly, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publishes data on access to cash coverage across the UK. As of the third quarter of 2021, the FCA reported that nearly 96% of the UK population are within 2km of a free-to-use cash access point.<\/p>

<\/p>

The government recognises that the ability to access to cash remains important to millions of people across the UK and has committed to legislating to protect access to cash.<\/p>

<\/p>

Last year, the Government held an Access to Cash Consultation on proposals for new laws to make sure people only need to travel a reasonable distance to pay in or take out cash. The Government\u2019s proposals intend to support the continued use of cash in people\u2019s daily lives and help to enable local businesses to continue accepting cash by ensuring they can access deposit facilities.

Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) have statutory responsibility for making rules on how the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) should provide compensation when authorised financial services firms are unable to meet claims against them. This responsibility includes setting the limits for compensation payments made by the FSCS. The FCA carries out reviews of FSCS compensation limits independently of government.<\/p>

<\/p>

The FCA published a discussion paper on 6 December 2021, which invites views on key elements of the FCA\u2019s compensation framework and remains open for responses until 4 March 2022. The paper includes discussion of the FSCS compensation limits which are set by the FCA. The FCA discussion paper can be found at:<\/p>

Since 15 October 2021, consumers and businesses have been able to take advantage of new higher contactless payments limits.<\/p>

<\/p>

The legal contactless payment limits were raised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) through changes to the Strong Customer Authentication rules in March 2021. The FCA\u202fhas the power to amend\u202fthese limits\u202fsubject to public consultation and Treasury approval.<\/p>

<\/p>

In line with this process, the\u202fFCA publicly consulted on increasing contactless limits. In making this decision the FCA fully considered\u202fthe\u202frisks to customers, including the potential impacts on fraud, alongside the\u202fbenefits. When the limits were last raised in Spring 2020 from £30 to £45 there was no significant recorded increase in the fraudulent use of contactless cards.\u202f Similarly, no material increase in fraudulent transactions has been observed in other countries where the contactless limit increased to the equivalent of £100 or above. The FCA continues to monitor fraud rates across all payment types and will consider action as appropriate if fraud rates rise.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-10-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-10-25T13:54:43.38Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-10-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Bank Cards: Fraud"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he plans to take to monitor potential increased fraudulent use of contactless cards following the payment limit increase to £100.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1409", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Gregory Campbell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Londonderry"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Gregory Campbell"} ], "uin" : "59718"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&min-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-05-21T13%3A43%3A49.577Z&tablingMemberConstituency=East+Londonderry&answer.answeringMember.label=Biography+information+for+John+Glen&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2023-06-29T15%3A44%3A56.267Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 31, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
