End of student loan sale programme
There was a lot going on in mid-March and I somehow forgot to add a post when the government announced that it was ending its student loan sale programme.
I had predicted this in January and that post contains a full explanation as to why such a decision was likely.
In short, it’s because there was no longer a presentational advantage from the sale and the accounting change introduced by the ONS meant that the losses on sales (the difference between cash raised and book value) now hit the headline fiscal statistics.
