The Falkland Islands Government budget is our estimate of the Government\u2019s future revenues and expenditure. The annual budget is presented by the Financial Secretary and approved by the Legislative Assembly in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIG continues to recognise that the main factors involved in setting the budget are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The need to operate public services at the level expected by the local community;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The need to establish and support economic policies that encourage economic development and a sustainable future for the Falkland Islands;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The need to provide social policy schemes such as pensions and improving the quality of life in the Falkland Islands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. That the net expenditure plans for the five year term of the medium term financial plan (\u201cMTFP\u201d) reflects financial prudence and long term sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Budget principles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
