UK Markets in Turmoil: Déjà Vu All Over Again as Truss's Ghost Haunts Economy

 

Liz Truss is making waves in the United Kingdom because her 2022 economic crisis is being referenced amid current market turmoil.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ policy shift sparked concerns about fiscal discipline, drawing sharp parallels to Truss’s tenure and reviving fears of another "Truss moment" in financial circles.
