But markets constrain the UK only insofar as its institutions let them. If energy prices spike, the economy suffers a drop in real income. The question is: who soaks up that loss? Households, firms or the state, via higher deficits? Privileging fiscal credibility might signal that she prefers households to absorb the shock rather than the state.
