Spring Statement 2026
Today the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) will publish new forecasts for the economy and public finances. The forecast will be the second of 2025/26 and assess whether the Chancellor is on course to meet public finance targets.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves will on the same day deliver a statement in Parliament in response providing an update on the Government’s plans for the economy.
The Chancellor has previously committed to one major fiscal event a year in Autumn, so it is not expected that any major policy announcements will be made. However, the OBR forecast does influence government policy direction on taxation levels and spending allocations in the future.
