Macroeconomics produces a six month update of the budget outlook for the Commonwealth & State Budgets (including detail of all major revenue heads and spending components) over the forward estimates period based on the Macroeconomics Australian Budget Model. These forecasts are brought together in our comprehensive Commonwealth & State Budget Bulletin publication released two weeks before the Federal Budget each year. This publication provides comprehensive analysis of the fiscal position of each jurisdiction before each jurisdiction has reported to provide a performance benchmark. Our publication includes extensive commentary for each jurisdiction on the likely implications of fiscal strategy for economic management and what budget settings each government should be aiming for.
