Budget 2020 - pre-budget briefing
Now that the rainy day has inarguably arrived, we discuss if this Government will shed its priority fiscal prudence cloak? If so, which of the other dimensions of wellbeing will be prioritised?
What will be in Budget 2020 to be announced on Thursday?
- Will the wage subsidy be extended?
- Will the social security safety net be strengthened?
- Can the business support package be supercharged?
- When will the shovel-ready projects start shovelling?
- Will local government be called on to contribute?
- And, what of helicopter money?
BERL Research Director Dr Ganesh Nana and Chief Economist Hillmarè Schulze presented this pre-budget briefing and kōrero on what to expect in The Rainy Day Budget, and what might be left out.
