Welsh Budget Outlook 2021: Briefing Event

This event has ended.

The UK government’s recent Spending Review 2021 set the size of Welsh Government block grants for coming years. Despite a much improved fiscal outlook, many areas of the Welsh budget face major cost and demand pressures.

Ahead of the Welsh Government’s Draft Budget for 2022-23, join the Wales Fiscal Analysis (WFA) team for a discussion on a new briefing report on the outlook for the Welsh Budget.

The WFA team will discuss:
• The economic and fiscal outlook for Wales
• The outlook for public services, including: pandemic recovery costs; pressures on local government services; and public sector pay
• The options and trade-offs for Welsh Government spending allocations
• The outlook and options for devolved and local tax policy
