OBR updated economic forecasts

  • 2015 GDP 2.4% vs 2.5% prior
  • 2016 2.3% vs 2.3% prior
  • 2017 2.4% vs 2.3% prior

I'm waiting for the full forecasts but I don't think they are coming out until the end of Osborne's speech

  • 2015/16 budget deficit forecast cut to 69.5bn vs 69.5bn prior
  • 2016/17 43.1bn
  • 2019/20 surplus forecast at 10bn vs 7bn prior
