Bronwyn oversees the governance and independence of the OBR with Sir Christopher Kelly. Together, they will support the Budget Responsibility Committee in taking forward the strategic aims of the OBR.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, said:
I am pleased to reappoint Bronwyn Curtis OBE as a non-executive member of the Office for Budget Responsibility.
Bronwyn has brought invaluable expertise to the role and her extensive experience has helped to maintain the independence, strength and credibility of the UK's fiscal framework and the OBR as an institution.
The Chair of the OBR, Richard Hughes, said:
I am pleased that Bronwyn has agreed to serve another term as one of our two non-executive members and that the Chancellor has approved this. Bronwyn brings a wealth of expertise and experience as a private sector economist and has been an invaluable source of advice and guidance though these challenging times.
Bronwyn Curtis OBE said:
I am delighted to be re-appointed to the Oversight Board of the Office for Budget Responsibility. As we emerge from the pandemic, the role of the OBR will be increasingly important in ensuring the Government, and the wider public, have a reliable and independent source of expertise on the future of the public finances. It is a privilege to be part of the oversight of the OBR as it steps up to the challenge.
Bronwyn's second term will be for 3 years, running from 8 June 2021.
