I propose to take Questions Nos. 711, 714 and 725 together.

My Department updates its full suite of macroeconomic and fiscal projections twice a year, in the spring (Annual Progress Report) and autumn (Budget) publications. The macroeconomic forecasts incorporate the latest high frequency data, the impact of any revisions, changes in external demand, commodity prices etc. as well as any changes in fiscal policy in the projections.

The effects of fiscal policy will be reflected in the macroeconomic projections in Budget 2026, which will in turn drive the revenue projections. These updated fiscal projections will include values for general government expenditure, revenue and balance.
