The federal government will release a statement on the impact of the coronavirus on the domestic economy when parliament resumes in May. Amongst other things, it will outline how much the government has spent on stimulus measures to date. The Coalition also intends to release new economic forecasts in June, which take into account the likely future impact of the pandemic. Labor and former Treasury official Greg Smith have previously urged the government to release an economic update in the near-term, arguing that it is too long to wait until the Budget in October.
