CHANGE IN THE BUDGETARY BALANCE IN 2018-2019
According to the Québec Budget Plan – March 2019, a budgetary surplus of $2.5 billion was expected for 2018-2019.
On the basis of available information, a one-time upward revision of $1.1 billion of the budgetary balance is expected for 2018-2019, bringing it to $3.6 billion. This revision comes from:
a $300-million increase in tax revenue stemming in particular from exceptional and non-recurring receipts from corporate income tax and higher revenues from personal income tax;
cold temperatures in January and February, which lead to a $100-million upward revision of Hydro-Québec’s results;
lower-than-expected interest rates that result in a $125-million decrease in debt service;
a $536-million decrease in expenditures related to the revision of estimates for certain provisions, including those for environmental liabilities and those for loans and loan guarantees granted by the government.
In keeping with the government’s commitment, the preliminary results for 2018-2019 will be presented in June 2019 in the Monthly Report on Financial Transactions at March 31, 2019.
