Following the tabling of the 2010 MTBPS and the engagement with the Minister, the Committees held hearings on 10 and 11 November 2010, receiving submissions from a panel of economists, organised labour and organised business. This report reflects the main themes emerging from the engagement with the Minister, economists, organised labour and organised business. This report includes two main sections, namely: Economic Outlook and Policy, and Fiscal Trends and Policy. The former section gives an overview of economic outlook and policy with specific reference to key macro-economic indicators within the context of the current global economic environment. The latter section provides details of fiscal policy over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) with specific reference to the fiscal stance adopted by government.
