PoliticsLabour urged to fill predicted £400m shortfall in overseas aid for 2027

The UK is projected to fall about £400m short of its 2027 target of spending 0.3% of national income on international aid. The Center for Global Development’s central estimate puts aid at 0.29% of income, citing higher-than-expected inflation and a 2025 budget policy change. Researchers urge ministers to consider extra funding in this week’s budget.
