Intergenerational reports

False

The Intergenerational Report (IGR) is a fiscal and economic update that assesses the long‑term sustainability of current government policies.

The Charter of Budget Honesty Act 1998 requires the Australian Government to publicly release and table an IGR at least once every 5 years.

The report looks ahead 40 years. It includes projections for the economy and the government’s budget. These projections help governments understand future challenges and opportunities and support policy decisions.

The first IGR was published in the 2002–03 Budget as Budget Paper No. 5. Intergenerational reports are now published as stand-alone reports.
