The Falkland Islands Government will be holding a public meeting on Monday 8th June 2026 from 5-6pm in the Court & Assembly Chamber where the Financial Secretary, Pat Clunie will present the 2026-27 annual budget.

The Falkland Islands Government presented its 2026/27 budget to the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, the first of the Assembly elected in December, with an Appropriation Bill of 216.3 million pounds and under the guiding principle of “living within our means.” The plan seeks to balance the territory's finances amid pressure on revenue and an ambitious infrastructure investment program.

Today, Wednesday 3 June at the Court and Assembly Chambers Town Hall, beginning at 09:00, the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly will be holding an assembly, open to the public.

The Falkland Islands Government has postponed the announcement of its 2025/26 budget, which was initially scheduled for June 3. According to a statement from the Legislative Assembly, the delay comes after members of the Budget Select Committee expressed dissatisfaction with the final draft presented, leading to a decision to take additional time for consensus-building.

Focusing on our current and future generations is at the heart of the Falkland Islands Government Budget for 2024/25. The Budget recognises these two themes are essential for the community to mitigate against the continued global cost of living crisis, and the uncontrollable situations happening around the world, which ultimately impact our economy.

The latest announcements on the Falkland Islands budget have not gone without comments from the Falklands Chamber of Commerce and its current president Mike Summers, according to an interview on the local television channel.

On 31st May, the Governor of the Falkland Islands made her annual address, state of the Nation, to the Legislative Assembly. In her speech, Alison Blake CMG reviewed last year's challenges and highlights, set out the government's and public service priorities for the year ahead, and paid tribute to the economy.

The Falkland Islands Government yesterday published its budget for the upcoming financial year, describing it as a prudent budget that focuses on stability and continuity. The budget forecasts operating expenditure of £78.3m and revenues of £92.2m, as well as a capital programme totalling £53.5m for the upcoming financial year.

Stability and continuity are at the heart of the Falkland Islands Government Budget for 2020/21. The Budget recognises these two themes are essential in the time of uncertainty stemming from the global COVID-19 pandemic.

“As a government we continue to be careful stewards of our finances and operate a robust and credible budgeting process that is both open and transparent,” Falkland Islands Government’s Chief Executive Barry Rowland stated during a speech to Legislative Assembly.
