Treasurer Jim Chalmers downgrades mid-year budget by more than $100 billion in major blow to Albanese government

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. illion-in-major-blow-to-albanese-government.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Sunday, December 15th 2024 at 18:40 GMT by Sky News Australia}

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has been forced to downgrade the Albanese government's mid-year budget update by more than $100 billion in a major blow.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has announced a significant downgrade to Australia's mid-year budget, slashing more than $100 billion from the economic forecasts. This adjustment reflects a more cautious outlook on economic growth, with expectations now set at 1.5% for the current financial year, down from an earlier prediction of 3.25%. The revision comes amidst global economic uncertainties, including the ongoing effects of the Ukraine conflict, supply chain disruptions, and rising inflation. Chalmers highlighted that these changes are necessary to provide a realistic view of the economic challenges ahead, potentially impacting the Albanese government's fiscal strategy and its ability to deliver on promised initiatives. This budget update also includes a reduction in expected tax receipts and an increase in spending on social services, aiming to support Australians facing cost-of-living pressures.
