Office for Budget Responsibility

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is an independent organization in the UK that assesses the country’s economic health and finances. It forecasts government income (like taxes) and spending, helping policymakers and the public understand the economic outlook. The OBR evaluates how government policies impact the economy, public debt, and public services, providing unbiased, data-driven analysis. Its goal is to promote fiscal responsibility and transparency, ensuring government decisions are informed by accurate economic predictions and debt sustainability assessments.
