Britain weighs defense funding via potential war bond issuance

Reported · Written up by our desk · Europe

CNBC World reports that proposals in the U.K. to finance additional defense spending through so-called war bonds could revive memories of an older approach to borrowing from savers.

The outlet highlights that any plan to bring back the concept may face public and investor concern, given how “war bond” schemes are historically associated with costs borne by individuals during major periods of conflict.
