The government has produced no such assessment of the independent Monetary Policy Committee’s forecasts for the UK economy.

The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has the responsibility to produce detailed forecasts for the economy and public finances twice a year. The OBR will produce forecasts to accompany the Autumn Statement on 23 November.
