Britain recorded the largest budget deficit for any February since at least 1993 when monthly records started, swelled by spending on energy bill support programmes, official data showed on Tuesday.

The Office for National Statistics said public sector net borrowing, excluding state-owned banks, was 16.68 billion pounds ($20.4 billion) in February.

A Reuters poll of economists had pointed to public sector net borrowing, excluding state-owned banks, of 11.4 billion pounds.

The ONS said it was the highest borrowing for any February since monthly records began in 1993, largely because of spending on energy bill support programmes.

Switzerland awoke to a new era on Monday after UBS swept up Credit Suisse (SIX:CSGN) in a government-brokered rescue that dented the country's long-held pride in its banking expertise.

In a package orchestrated by Swiss regulators on Sunday, UBS will pay 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.23 billion) for Credit Suisse and assume up to $5.4 billion in losses.

Swiss authorities are examining imposing losses on Credit Suisse bondholders as part of a rescue, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Sunday, while European regulators are apprehensive.
