The uncertainty is always elevated in a period of low transparency. That goes without saying and is well researched and well demonstrated. That's why the Parliamentary Budget Office was created and set up in 2008. In these situations where, for whatever reason, there ends up being a gap in fiscal transparency, not only will the Parliamentary Budget Office point out that potentially we're operating with incredibly low levels of fiscal transparency, which will feed into business uncertainty among other things, but the Parliamentary Budget Office can actually step in and try to alleviate part of that, which is why next week we're going to be publishing our economic and fiscal baseline: a new five-year forecast, our outlook on the economy, as well as our outlook on the deficit figures for the next five years. Hopefully that will alleviate some of the uncertainty.
