I welcome the Ministers to the meeting. As it is Deputy Chamber's first appearance as Minister for Finance, I wish him good luck in his role. The Minister stated, "With increased expenditure, we remain on track to run healthy budgetary surpluses over the medium term". What are those surpluses, beyond 2025?
