OBR Cancels Fiscal Sustainability Report

As per the Office for Budget Responsibility:
"Given the timing and result of the referendum, and the current uncertainty around our future relationship with the EU, producing projections based on our March forecast would not necessarily be very informative. To produce meaningful long -term project ions we would need to make a new medium -term forecast (which we will not be doing until the autumn) and new long - term assumptions in areas such as productivity growth and migration flows (which would be affected by the trade arrangements the government decides to pursue). 

Under these circumstances, we have decided to cancel July’s FSR ."
