Office For Budget Responsibility

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) was established in May 2010 to provide independent assessments of the economy, public finances and fiscal sustainability. We provide independent forecasts of the economy and public finances, examine the impact of the Government's policy decisions on the public finances, and assess the prospects for achieving the Government's fiscal targets and welfare cap. We publish reports on long-term fiscal sustainability, fiscal risks and trends in welfare spending, and produce papers on economic and fiscal issues. Contact us at [email protected] or 02033346117
