As the Deputy may be aware, under an EU regulation adopted last year (Regulation (EU) No 473/2013), all Member States are required to publish their draft budget for central government and the main parameters of all other General Government sub-sectors no later than 15 October each year.

While the date of Budget 2015 is yet to be decided, in light of the above requirement, it must be on or before the 15^thof October. The actual date will be decided by Government and announced in due course.
