PESA 2009 Released


On June 19, 2009, HM Treasury released Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2009. This release updates outturn data for 2007-08, estimated outturn data for 2008-09, and plan data for 2009-10 and 2010-11.

Normally, HM Treasury would provide plan data for year 2011-12, the third out-year. But this year HM Treasury has not provided this data.

ukpublicspending.co.uk has updated its 2008 data with the new outturn data. It has updated 2009 data with the new estimated outturn data and has updated 2010 and 2011 data with plan data.
