أثرت على الأسواق المالية..تحقيقات بريطانية في تسريب يتعلق بالموازنة

The British Treasury Committee announced today (Tuesday) the start of an investigation led by a government security group into a potential leak of procedures and information related to the public budget, which is suspected to have affected financial markets.

Permanent Secretary to the Treasury James Bowler said: "The investigation aims to determine the circumstances of the leak, confirming that no banks or their representatives or trade bodies were briefed on the details of the changes related to the additional tax on bank profits before they were officially announced."

The Circle Widens

Bowler explained that the circle of officials aware of the procedures necessarily expands within the government ahead of the budget speech, in preparation for its implementation. The Chancellor is scheduled to appear before the Treasury Committee in Parliament (Wednesday) in a session expected to address the leak, and Committee Chair Meg Hillier criticized the repeated investigations without reaching conclusions or identifying responsible parties.
