, Minister for Finance and
Local Government: Today, I have tabled the Welsh Government’s
Final Budget for 2024-25 – a Budget which prioritises the public
services that matter most to the people of Wales.
The Final Budget 2024-25 builds on the spending plans we
have already set out in the Draft Budget by announcing
additional resource and capital allocations and a number of
administrative changes.
The final Budget documents
are available in Welsh and English on the Welsh
Government’s website and include:
- Annual Budget Motion.
- Budget Expenditure Lines (BEL tables).
- Final Budget Explanatory Note.
- Tables supporting Spending Plans.
- Wales Infrastructure Investment Plan Project Pipeline
(February 2023)
The following document, which is part of the suite of documents
published today, is also available:
- Office for Budget Responsibility independent assessment of
our tax proposals – Welsh Taxes Outlook, February 2023
update.
Following constructive discussions with the Lead Designated
Member from Plaid Cymru we are also publishing a joint paper as
part of the Co-operation Agreement
The UK Government has announced its plans for a Spring Statement
on 6 March. My intention is to make a statement as early as
possible following this to provide an update on forecasts and the
detail of any funding consequentials for Wales.
The Final Budget debate and vote will take place in the Senedd on
5 March.
