In short
Treasury monitors and reports on Australia’s economic conditions.
Our domestic economic role includes:
- monitoring and assessing Australia's economic conditions and outlook
- advising on current and future conditions
- providing economic forecasts that inform the budget estimates for revenue and expenditure.
We document our analysis and advice through reports.
Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Outlook report
We produce a Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook Report before every federal election.
The report covers:
- government financial decisions up to an election announcement
- other circumstances that may have a material effect on the fiscal and economic outlook.
Treasury publishes the report within 10 days of a writ for a general election.
