FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 General Fund Revenue Forecasts - Stronger than Average Growth and Prudent Budgeting results in Positive Budget Outlook
November 18, 2025
The South Carolina Board of Economic Advisors (BEA) issued an updated forecast for the current fiscal year, FY 2025-26 (FY 26), and an initial forecast for the following year, FY 2026-27 (FY 27), at its meeting Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The BEA noted that General Fund revenues for last fiscal year finished $410.7 million above expectations, which resulted in a higher base for estimating FY 26 and FY 27 revenues, and the growth underlying the extra revenue has continued through the first quarter of this fiscal year. These factors combined with unappropriated funds in FY 2024-25 (FY 25) and FY 26 from the BEA’s May 2025 estimate greatly impacted today’s forecast and the budgetary outlook.

May 20, 2025
A stronger than expected April tax filing season in the last months of FY 2024-25 (FY 25) mixed with a cautious and uncertain outlook to start FY 2025-26 (FY 26) prompted the South Carolina Board of Economic Advisors (BEA) to increase its revenue forecast for the current fiscal year, FY 25, and next fiscal year, FY 26 by different amounts.
