The Office for Budget Responsibility’s November 2015 debt forecasts have been superseded by more recent forecasts.

The most up-to-date forecast for Public Sector Net Debt was published by the OBR at the recent 2017 Autumn Budget. This forecast shows debt starting to fall next year, and falling below 80% of GDP by 2021-22.
