Budget 2014 published on 15October 2013, contained the latest macroeconomic and fiscal forecasts from my Department. These forecasts are set out in section C of the Budget booklet.

I note that the Deputy has asked for information on national debt. As general government debt expressed as a percentage of gross domestic product is the standard metric internationally for accessing debt levels, information on general government debt has been included instead of national debt.

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below.
