Why it matters
Forecasts from governments, the IMF, the European Commission or the energy agencies shape expectations and policy. A budget statement with new forecasts can change government borrowing plans and bond yields; an energy outlook can move oil and gas prices.
How it is calculated
There is no single figure: the release contains projections built by economists from models and the latest data.
What changes mean
- Markets react to revisions: compare the new forecasts with the previous edition.
- Fiscal statements matter most when they change how much the government will borrow.
