Idaho’s booming economy resulted in May state revenue figures coming in $580 million ahead of forecast – the best month for state revenues in the history of Idaho – with the potential to end the fiscal year in June with another record budget surplus of close to $800 million, an all-time high!
Years of fiscal conservatism, swift action during the pandemic, few COVID restrictions, responsible allocation of federal relief dollars, and our relentless focus on cutting red tape are the reasons Idaho’s economy is catapulting ahead of other states right now!
Idaho’s economy and state budget continue to strengthen, paving the way for even more tax relief for Idahoans and added investments in education, roads, clean water, broadband and other areas next year.
