Budget Day refers to the day a government or parliament publicly announces its budget and fiscal plans, though the date varies by country. Key examples:
- United Kingdom: Budget Day is when the Chancellor presents the annual budget, historically in March or early April, aligned with the fiscal year. It is a formal, single day event with a public speech in Parliament.
- Netherlands: Budget Day (Prinsjesdag) occurs on the third Tuesday in September, featuring the Speech from the Throne and the government outlining the coming year’s agenda.
- India: The Union Budget has historically been presented in February, but since 2017 the date was shifted to February 1 to provide time for implementation before the new financial year (April 1).
- Other contexts: Some countries or regions have analogous “budget” days or statements tied to their fiscal calendars, sometimes tied to a formal address or a budget speech. For example, budget-related announcements in various jurisdictions may occur on a fixed annual day or as part of a budget cycle.
If you meant a specific country or region’s Budget Day, please specify which one, and I can give the exact date for the current year and any notable traditions or procedures associated with that location.
