What this means for people Borrowing fills the gap when the public sector spends more than it receives, and it adds to the debt.
The gap is what the government and other public bodies spent above taxes and other income. Spending includes day-to-day costs, such as schools and hospitals, investment such as roads, and interest on money already owed.
Borrowing less does not, by itself, bring the debt down. More tax arrives in some months, such as January, when many people pay self-assessment bills.

How to read this Not seasonally adjusted Not seasonally adjusted: compare with the same point last year, not only with the month before.
The year so far is clearer The financial year runs from April to March. The total since April is a better guide than any one month.
Borrowing is not debt Borrowing is the gap between spending and income in one period. Debt is the total still owed from all past borrowing.
Not adjusted for inflation Amounts are in pounds at the time, so borrowing from many years ago is not directly comparable with today.
