Key features of 2018 Draft Budgetary Plans

Briefing 20-11-2017

This document compares key features of the 2018 Draft Budgetary Plans (DBP) with the autumn 2017 forecasts by the European Commission (EC) and key features included in the 2017 Stability Programmes (SP) with the spring 2017 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 table.
