Briefings
The Public Finance Council (CFP) approved the Government's macroeconomic forecasts for the 2027 State Budget (OE2027), but warned of risks to economic growth below projections and higher inflation. The CFP considers the Government's scenario statistically probable, yet identified downward risks to the 2027 GDP forecast. The evidence is limited to the CFP's official opinion and the accompanying macroeconomic scenario document, with no further data or external validation provided.
Key points
- The Public Finance Council (CFP) approved the Government's macroeconomic forecasts for the 2027 State Budget (OE2027).
- The CFP identified risks to economic growth below projections and higher inflation, noting potential underestimation of inflation in 2026 and 2027.
Context
The Public Finance Council (CFP) is an independent body that validates macroeconomic forecasts for the State Budget. This finding matters because it indicates the Government's economic plan faces potential challenges in growth and inflation, despite being considered statistically probable.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to the CFP's official opinion and the accompanying macroeconomic scenario document. No external validation, additional data, or further analysis is provided.
