General Fund Budget and Four Year Outlook

A Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) is a financial planning framework.

Our MTFS outlines our expected income and spending plans over a three- to five-year period.

This page shows the current Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council MTFS. There are also strategies for previous years.

An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) looks at budget changes and funding decisions. It tries to make sure these decisions do not unfairly harm protected groups. The EIA is a decision-making and legal compliance tool used within the MTFS.

The EIA looks at the actual effects of a policy once it has started. It helps alert us if things are going wrong.
