Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Derek Moran:
An expert group was established to look behind the GDP numbers so that we could give an insight into a more stable set of aggregates. The report, and Mr. McCarthy was a member of the expert group, suggested that a new measure called GNI was more representative. It will not be published until the autumn.
