Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR)

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is an independent organization in the UK that provides expert analysis of the government’s financial plans and economic forecasts. Its role is to assess whether the government’s budget projections are realistic and sustainable, and to offer unbiased insights on the country's economic health. By doing so, the OBR helps policymakers, investors, and the public understand the potential risks and opportunities related to public finances, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making in fiscal policy.
