US EditionIFS says tough public spending choices unavoidable
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves will announce the UK's spending review on 11 June 2025, setting budgets for NHS, defence, schools, and other departments.
- The government front-loaded spending in early years but must now slow funding increases, causing a trade-off between NHS growth and cuts in unprotected areas.
- The Treasury holds about £100 billion capital for investment in neglected towns and city outskirts, aiming to rebalance regional spending and support infrastructure.

- The spending review's outcome will determine funding priorities amid pressure from councils facing gaps and opposition parties challenging fiscal policies amid stalled growth.
