The UK Picture

Budget and forecast tracker

Reviewed Budget measures and official forecasts, kept separate from subsequent outcomes. A difference does not by itself show why a forecast missed.

Costs are shown as published estimates and may use different conventions, years or behavioural assumptions. Follow the source before comparing measures.
