"Revenue growth continues to be strong as the economy recovers," State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. "We are also still seeing the positive impacts of the federal stimulus programs. We expect growth rates to return to more typical levels as the support of the stimulus fades."
These revenue estimates are based on the most recent economic projections and forecasting models. As with any economic and revenue forecast, there are potential risks to the estimates agreed to today, including further COVID-19 outbreaks, unexpected changes in the national economy, and international economic issues.
"Michiganders can be excited about the economic picture that was presented today and about the revenues we have available to us to build the budget, especially when you consider it was just under two years ago when the revenue estimates did not look good during those early days of the pandemic," State Budget Director Christopher Harkins said. "I do want to remind everyone, however, that much of this revenue is one-time in nature and should be used for one-time investments that keep our budget in balance for the long term. I am remaining mindful of the fact that revenues can still fluctuate and change quickly during a pandemic."
FY 2022 spans from Oct. 1, 2021, to Sept. 30, 2022, while FY 2023 spans from Oct. 1, 2022, to Sept. 30, 2023. FY 2024 begins on Oct. 1, 2023.
