Treasurer Matt Kean has announced the 2022-23 NSW Budget will be handed down on Tuesday, 21 June 2022.
Mr Kean said he looked forward to delivering his first Budget which comes as the NSW economy continues to rebound from challenges such as COVID-19 and recent floods.
\u201cWe know the past two years have been hard for the people of NSW and the Omicron wave brought new, unexpected challenges,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\u201cBut NSW has shown its resilience: unemployment is at a record low of 3.7 per cent, consumer spending is growing strongly, and business confidence is well above its decade average.
\u201cIt\u2019s now time to look ahead. The Budget will lay out our plans for the next 12 months and beyond to support NSW families and build a better future.\u201d
Mr Kean said the NSW Government had to date committed over $2 billion towards the 2022 flood recovery.
\u201cWe also committed more than $46 billion towards health, economic and social support measures since the pandemic began, including our $2.8 billion Economic Recovery Strategy,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\u201cOur $110.4 billion infrastructure program has helped drive our recovery and kept people in jobs and we are committed to supporting business and the community as we deliver for the people of NSW.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
