This report updates the long-run fiscal projections, where we combine the economic and demographic assumptions, and our tax and spending long-term projections, to explore an updated set of 50-year debt projections and alternative scenarios. We also examine the implications for the long-term sustainability of the public finances. Further information on the Fiscal risks and sustainability report can be found on the OBR website.
