Fiscal Sustainability

The Commission’s most recent report on the sustainability of the Scottish devolved public finances was published in April 2025. We published an Error Correction Notice to this report in December 2025. This is part of a series of outputs on fiscal sustainability, and the Commission also published a report exploring how climate change could affect the Scottish Government’s fiscal sustainability in September 2025.
