COVID-19 Budgeting Strategies Part 2: Revenue Forecasting Under COVID-19
Revenue Forecasting Under COVID-19. Accurate revenue forecasting is key to a successful budget, but COVID-19 has made it much harder to create such forecasts, especially for jurisdictions that are heavily dependent upon sales taxes or tourism. This webinar will discuss current economic indicators and forecasts by state agencies and provide considerations for forecasting 2021 and beyond.
