§ Mr. DarlingThe Treasury normally publishes two forecasts a year, as required by the Industry Act 1975. The first of these forecasts for 1998 was published in the March Financial Statement and Budget Report (FSBR), and the second Industry Act forecast will be published later in the year. The Economic and Fiscal Strategy Report (ESFR) included a summary update of the March 1998 FSBR, based on new spending plans and updated projections of aggregate receipts to reflect outturns available since the Budget. Information on the updated fiscal projections can be found throughout chapters 3 and 4 of the EFSR.
