Budget Outlook
The headline economic figures of the 2025-26 Budget are as follows:
- Deficit for the 2025-26 Budget has landed at $42.1 Billion, this figure is lower than what was predicted in MYEFO, and lower than what was forecast before the last election.
- Gross debt will hit $940 billion this financial year, $177 billion less than what the Government inherited.
- Growth is forecast to pick up from 1½ per cent this year to 2½ per cent in 2026–27. This is a better forecast than most advanced economies around the world. This growth will largely be driven by the private sector.
- Unemployment is expected to remain low at 4.25 per cent.
As an election-year budget, it is designed to address the most pressing concerns of Australians while reinforcing the government’s economic management credentials.
With many households facing financial strain due to historic inflation and interest rates, the government has continued to provide targeted relief.
The government has made key investments in healthcare and education.
The Budget continues to provide fiscal discipline. With further budget savings, the government has achieved $94 billion worth of savings across its four budgets.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers framed this progress in his Budget speech, stating,
“Inflation is down, incomes are rising, unemployment is low, interest rates are coming down, debt is down, and growth is picking up momentum. On all these fronts, our economy and our Budget are in better shape than they were three years ago.”
