Small surprises in Budget, says PM

Prime Minister John Key says the country can expect small surprises in this week's Budget.

The Government is due to outline its fiscal plans on Thursday. Future deficits and the possibility of a credit downgrade remain central to the Governments concerns.

Key says there will not be any huge surprises in the Budget and believes its content has been reasonably well forecast. He says it will have interesting aspects, predicting plans for home insulation support and the levels of savings found might surprise some people.
