“While the pandemic has had a dramatic impact on our economy, the state of Michigan has outperformed national averages in a number of areas,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “While still down more than $1 billion compared to before the pandemic, today the state’s revenues were raised upwards primarily due to direct and indirect impacts from the federal stimulus. Our economic recovery this year will continue to depend on the course of the pandemic and the additional economic relief coming from Washington D.C. There is cautious hope and optimism as we move forward as vaccines are administered, and we begin to put the pandemic behind us.”

In addition to the FY2021 and FY2022 forecasts, initial revenue estimates for FY 2023 were released.

These revenue estimates are based on the most recent economic projections and forecasting models. As with any economic and revenue forecasts, there are potential risks to the estimates agreed to today, including further COVID-19 outbreaks, national economic trends, and international economic issues.

“The good news is that the revenue picture has as a result of the Governor’s proactive management of the pandemic improved since we last did estimates in August,” State Budget Director Dave Massaron said. “This provides one-time revenue to make necessary investments in the pandemic recovery and other one-time needs of the state.”

The January Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference’s detailed forecast – as well as presentations from today’s session – can be found on the House Fiscal Agency’s website.
