Government borrowing fell by more than expected in October, to £4.8bn.
According to the Office for National Statistics, it's due to a record amount of October tax income.
The amount borrowed was £1.6bn, lower than for the same period last year.
The figures come a day ahead of the Autumn Statement - a secondary Budget to the one in March.
Simon spoke to Suren Thiru, Head of Economics at the British Chambers of Commerce to discuss the figures in more detail.
