Description

Ten year economic forecast of the Federal budget by the CBO for long-term governmental planning is a valuable tool for decision-making by associated private sector industries. In addition, this is an important resource for media news organizations to inform the general public of the potential impact the economic climate has on personal life choices and decisions by Congress in shaping legislation affecting social and other key Federal public management responsibilities.

The CBO updates the Outlook on a yearly basis to ensure the latest economic changes are factored into the forecast.
