After a bruising three-week battle with bond markets, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss admitted defeat. She fired her finance minister and gutted her economic program by promising to reinstate a big tax hike on corporations. | Analysis by Julia Horowitz

Truss said she acted in the national interest to ensure economic stability and to “reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline.” But it remains unclear whether Truss has done enough to persuade skeptical investors, and Friday’s announcement did nothing to calm speculation about whether she can hold on to her job. The price of 30-year UK government debt, which has been whipsawed in recent weeks, fell after the press conference.

“Getting rid of Truss, I think, would be one way of doing that.” Truss has said she’s serious about limiting UK government debt as a share of economic activity, but the numbers don’t add up. About £25 billion worth of new tax cuts remain in play, on top of the huge cost of winter energy subsidies. Stabilizing the debt-to-GDP ratio by 2024-2025 still looks out of reach, according to Capital Economics.
