Chancellor Rachel Reeves has denied that "Britain's economy is broken" after declaring that her second Budget will take place on November 26.
In a video, Ms Reeves said: “Bills are too high and you feel you’re putting more in but getting less out and that has to change.”
The Chancellor instead attempted to strike an optimistic tone, suggesting the UK had "huge potential".
She added: “There are still challenges. The cost-of-living pressures, I know, are still very real.
"We need to bring inflation and borrowing costs down, and we do that by keeping a tight grip on day-to-day spending and by enforcing my non-negotiable fiscal rules.
“Renewal is our mission and growth is our challenge. Investment and reform are our tools, the tools to build an economy that works for you and your family and rewards you.
“More pounds in your pocket, an NHS that is there when you need it and opportunities for all, including your kids and grandkids.
"Those are my priorities as Chancellor, they’re the priorities of the British people and they’re what I’m absolutely determined to deliver.”

Zack Polanski claims 'migration is good for this country' as he slams Nigel Farage as 'demonising'
Newly-elected Green Party leader Zack Polanski has accused Nigel Farage as "demonising" as he took aim at Reform UK and Labour.
Mr Polanski told the BBC: "Far too many people in this country in previous elections have been told to vote for the least worst option, and people have had enough."
He added: “The challenge to the Labour Government is if you really want to stop Nigel Farage, if you want to stop Reform and the rise of a right, then stop aping them, stop copying them.
"When Nigel Farage goes out and does a press conference and demonises migrants and people who are clinging to boats fleeing for their lives, Keir Starmer can’t even criticise that, in fact, he implicitly gives it the nod."
When asked about NHS vacancies, he responded: "Of course, we should be training British workers, and must train British workers, both for our care industries, for construction industries and all sorts of other jobs.
"But also the truth, and only the Green Party is willing to tell this truth right now, is actually migration is good for this country, migrants are paying more into our tax system than they’re taking out in benefits or social security."

"Some people need to take a long hard look in the mirror."
Wes Streeting says Downing Street wants to see police 'policing streets, not tweets'

"In terms of principle, the Prime Minister and Home Secretary have been very clear in terms of policing priorities, we want to see our police policing streets, not policing tweets.
"The police are there to enforce laws that have passed Parliament. If we are looking at things police are doing, and thinking that 'doesn't seem fair or proportionate', that is on us as legislators to sort out."

Senior Conservative MP James Cleverly has said it's important police do not "overreact" as he offered his take on the arrest of Graham Linehan.
The Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities told GB News: "I don't know all the details only what is in the public domain.
"From what I have seen, this looks to be an overreaction to a joke that Graham himself said was not necessarily a funny joke.
"It's important we don't overreact and that we don't start policing criticism.
"I've been to parts of the world as Foreign Secretary where freedom of speech is not a reality. That's not where we are but this does appear to be an overreaction to a rather crass joke."

A former Conservative home secretary has warned Yvette Cooper risks another Windrush-style scandal over the Government's handling of the migrant crisis.
Amber Rudd, who served as Home Secretary from 2016 to 2018 under Theresa May, warned against implementing a hostile environment for asylum seekers.
Ms Rudd told The Guardian: "All of this 'Speed up, speed up, Home Office' that is what leads to Windrush-type consequences...If you go too fast, that is when you make mistakes."
However, she was quick to acknowledge the circumstances were different, saying: "We are in a very different world now.
"When I was Home Secretary in 2018, 300 people came across the Channel, and we returned another 300. We now have an industry of people-traffickers which has been set up to get people across on a much larger scale."
