Portland’s City Economist has released the General Fund Forecast for fiscal year 2026-27, outlining early projections for the city’s discretionary revenues and expenditures. The report, published on Tuesday, serves as a guide for budget planning and allows city departments to start preparing their requests, according to the City of Portland.
The forecast is part of the annual December release and provides both officials and the public with an initial view of the city’s economic outlook. Exact figures were not disclosed, but the projections are expected to inform discussions on Portland’s fiscal priorities and planning decisions, as reported by the City of Portland.
As the new fiscal year approaches, city planners and policymakers will review the City Economist's report, which outlines projected revenues and expenditures for the General Fund. The full report is available on the Bureau of Budget and Financial Planning's website. The budget process will continue with community input and city hall discussions before a final budget is approved, as stated by the City of Portland.
