At Spring Statement 2025, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the government’s independent official forecaster, published its bi-annual economic and fiscal forecasts.

In line with its mandate as set out in law, the OBR does not produce forecasts at a sub-national level.

The OBR stated that it will make a full assessment of the economic impacts of the welfare policies announced in the Pathways to Work Green Paper ahead of its next forecast in the Autumn.
