Not sure why Govt.s seem to like 'fiscal rules' (in the way that Rachel Reeves likes them)?
Here's @sjwrenlewis exploring the issue to conclude that no fiscal rules are often better than badly conceived (or deployed) fiscal rules.
In the end fiscal rules are not about convincing financial operators that a Govt. is prudent (these actors already know one way or the other), rather it is often a self-denying ordnance to try to halt policy temptation(s).

Um die unglaublichen Regenmengen während der regionalen #Klimakatastrophe in Niederösterreich zu veranschaulichen, hier ein paar Zahlen und eine Grafik von der Messung in der Landeshauptstadt Sankt Pölten:
Zwischen 9. und 16. September 2024 fielen 436 Liter Regen pro Quadratmeter.
Normalerweise fallen in einem September 54 Liter.
Das bisherige Monatsmaximum lag bei rund 190 Liter.
436 Liter sind die höchste jemals in einem Monat gemessene Regenmenge an der Station.

La nomination de Nicolas Vanbremeersch comme chef du pôle communication à Matignon fait jaser à l'Elysée, tant l'homme s'est montré féroce envers Macron sur Twitter X: "Le couple Macron a-t-il fait des plans à trois avec le nervi?", écrit-il par exemple en pleine affaire Benalla. De quoi permettre à Barnier d'affirmer une certaine indépendance face au président? La politique est un théâtre... lalettre.fr/fr/action-publique…

à peine arrivé et avant même de rentrer dans le dur, l'homme du compromis s'est dejà mis la cour du monarque à dos ?
Ça serait trop drôle que Barnier se fasse censurer par les macronistes...

Patreon backer Alexander brings you this special episode all about D&D's deadliest monster -- but it's actually all about folk celebrations and monster costumes.
Let's be crystal clear: this shit doesn't stop at pregnancy and abortion. The precedent being set here is a ticking time bomb for digital privacy and civil liberties across the board. It's the legal equivalent of a universal skeleton key, and once that door is unlocked, every aspect of our digital lives is up for grabs.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •As you noted, "financial rules" seem to be entirely about the optics. IMO, less about reassuring financial players than about limiting the public's perception of what is possible.
In light of the disastrous Truss/Kwarteng budget, the public is ripe to believe there are financial no-go areas.

In one sense, the deployment of fiscal rules is a classic case of agenda setting power - by getting them to seem like 'common sense' those using/prompting them get to narrow the agenda of possibility in a way that limits political choices that can be seen as sensible or prudent - which SWL hints at, if doesn't make absolutely explicit in these terms
