Tonight February 22 at 6:30 PM (UTC+9) Great Britain's National Statistics will announce Public Sector Net Borrowing. The previous announcement was on January 25, 2011.

Tonight's announcement is supposed to reveal income exceeding spending by over 15 billion Pounds. If that is the case, the GBP currency pairs may show the same significant drop as the last announcement.
