The Chancellor's tax and spending plans are constrained by two self-imposed fiscal rules: the golden rule and the sustainable investment rule. IFS analysis of the public finances monitors the government's performance with reference to the Treasury's fiscal rules.
Work in this area also looks at forecasts of revenue and spending and aims to inform public debate around the Budget, the Pre-Budget Report and the Spending Review. Part of this dissemination involves writing articles for a variety of non-technical publications, such as Public Finance Magazine. A full listing of news articles authored by IFS staff can be found in our press section. IFS staff carry out monthly analysis of the public finance numbers: these are distributed as press notices and can also be found in our press section. See our Budgets section for more details about Budget and related analyses. Search
