The Annual Progress Report (APR) is a European legal requirement and replaces the annual Stability Programme Updates and the annual National Reform Programme in the European budgetary cycle; it is a key part of the reformed European fiscal architecture.
The APR is a technical document, prepared based on existing government policies.
The main purpose of the APR is for Member States to report on ex post expenditure growth outcomes versus planned expenditure in the previous year, in this case 2024. Member States also provide updates to the reforms and investments set out in their Medium Term Structural-Fiscal Plans (MTP). Ireland submitted its MTP on October 15th, 2024. Accordingly, commitments referred to in the APR 2025 refer to that Plan.
In addition, in-line with legal requirements, the Department produces two set of macroeconomic projections each year – its spring forecasts published with the Annual Progress Report and its autumn forecasts published with the Budget.
