Healey is using strict security measures to protect the Budget's details, reflecting concerns over speculation's economic impact. The UK economy has outperformed expectations, with growth faster than predicted, but Healey faces challenges in balancing fiscal discipline with support for the cost of living. The Budget will need to address potential increases in borrowing costs and the risk of a looming energy bill hike in January.
