Key features of 2019 Draft Budgetary Plans

Briefing 09-11-2018

This document compares key features of the 2019 Draft Budgetary Plans (DBP) with the autumn 2018 forecasts by the European Commission (EC) and key features included in the 2018 Stability Programmes (SP) with the spring 2018 forecasts by the EC. While blue cells indicate that the Member State is more optimistic than the EC forecast, grey cells indicate that the Member State is less optimistic than the EC forecast. An overview comparing these figures with the required fiscal efforts and the medium-term budgetary objectives in structural terms (MTO), as included in the latest Council decisions/recommendations, is provided in a separate EGOV document.
