The government will publish its full Medium-Term Fiscal Plan on 31 October, accompanied by an independent Office for Budget Responsibility economic and fiscal forecast.

This forecast will provide an assessment of the Medium-Term Fiscal Plan, including the impact of the announcements made on 17 October, as well as an in-depth analysis of the economy and public finances.

The Fiscal Plan will set out the government’s responsible fiscal approach fully, including how it will reduce debt as a percentage of GDP over the medium term.
