Budget
The Budget provides the Executive with an opportunity to improve the lives of people in Northern Ireland by allocating resources to high priority areas and where the additional funds will yield the greatest benefit. It also provides an opportunity to assess if spending in certain areas should be continued or whether or not these resources would be of greater benefit to the public if spent elsewhere.

Previous Budgets
The spending plans of NI departments for the period 2008-09 to 2010-11 were first set as part of the NI Executive Budget 2008-11 process with final plans agreed by the Executive and the Assembly in January 2008.
In the summer of 2009 the Finance Minister initiated a review of the 2010-11 spending plans of departments in light of changing circumstances and the emerging pressures facing the Executive for the 2010-11 financial year. The revised 2010-11 spending plans for NI departments were agreed by the Executive and the Assembly in April 2010.
