It is for the Office for Budget Responsibility to provide and publish economic and fiscal forecasting.

The Government’s overriding priority has been, and continues to be, preserving peace and stability in Northern Ireland. Peace in Northern Ireland is based on respect between all communities and the consent of those communities. We urge our partners in the EU to work with us to deliver changes to the Protocol. If we cannot find the solutions we need, we will take the steps necessary to protect all dimensions of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
