Abstract
This paper is about the experiences HM Treasury has gained over the years publishing the Long-term public finance report. The paper argues that there have been many, often subtle and at launch unexpected, benefits from publishing a long-term economic and fiscal assessment on a regular basis. For example, the regular publication has kept long-term fiscal issues alive in the policy debate and has allowed government to develop a better understanding of future trends than it would probably otherwise had done.
