Treasury Seeks New Chair For Budget Responsibility Office

UK Gov

HM Treasury has today launched a recruitment campaign for a new Chair of the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).

The OBR is the UK's official independent economic and fiscal forecaster, responsible for examining and reporting on the sustainability of the public finances. The Budget Responsibility Committee (BRC), led by the Chair, has executive responsibility for the core functions of the OBR, including the judgements made in its economic and fiscal forecasts.

As with all appointments to the Budget Responsibility Committee, the Chancellor will make the appointment, subject to the consent of the Treasury Committee.
