What happened
The Liberal government announced a major economic pivot away from reliance on the United States. Since the 2025 federal election, the Liberals have broadly deepened deficits through new spending as part of this pivot. The April fiscal update had previously shown a general improvement in near-term deficits, largely due to stronger economic results at the end of last year.
Why it matters
The pivot involves increased spending and deepening federal deficits. This policy direction affects the federal borrowing track and the government's fiscal management.
