Recent Council Forecasts Show Revenue Outlook Returning to Pre-Pandemic Levels
OF
STATE O
The Council's September 2021 forecast increased FY 2022 revenue growth to 6.3% from its May 2021 forecast of 3.0% and
maintained 4% annual growth for Fiscal Years 2023-2028
This change increased the General Fund Financial Plan by $1.58 billion for FY 2022-2026, which was in addition to the
$3.1 billion that was added as a result of the upward revision in the Council's May 2021 forecast
The upward revision in the 2022 forecast is due to robust collections of general excise and income taxes as well as increased
tourist arrivals and consumer spending so far in 2021
The Council acknowledges the level of uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and reduction in further Federal stimulus spending
