Consensus Economic Forecasting Commission:
The State Planning Office provides staff support for the Consensus Economic Forecasting Commission (CEFC), an independent group of economists who forecast Maine's economy. The CEFC meets twice a year to update its economic forecast, which is used in establishing the revenue forecast for the State. The Commission forecasts three key indicators: wage and salary employment, personal income (by component), and the Consumer Price Index.

Consensus Economic Forecasting Commission Background Materials:
Prior to each Consensus Economic Forecasting Commission (CEFC) meeting, the State Planning Office, which staffs the Commission, assembles a set of background materials. These materials summarize the current economic environment and any recent developments since the Commission’s past meeting. Special attention is paid to indicators of general economic activity as well as indicators for employment, personal income, and inflation (the Consumer Price Index), which are forecast by the Commission. Additional background may include updates on home prices and sales, heating and crude oil, and other topics of interest.
