MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) today announced the state of Wisconsin ended Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 with a positive balance of $4.6 billion. In addition, the state saw its ‘rainy day’ fund (Budget Stabilization Fund) increase to a record-high $1.9 billion, according to the new Annual Fiscal Report released by DOA.
“This is great news for our state and our state’s economy—we continue to be in one of the best fiscal positions in state history, and that’s a testament to hard-working folks in every corner of Wisconsin,” said Gov. Evers. “As I begin to prepare our state’s next biennial budget, this news comes at a critical time as we have needs that have long been neglected—stabilizing our child care industry, investing in public education at every level, and addressing rising costs for working families—that must be a top priority for us in this budget. We have a historic opportunity this next session to continue building upon the future we want for our state, and I’m looking forward to bringing folks together to get it done this next legislative session.” “We’re proud of the prudent fiscal management that the state of Wisconsin continues to demonstrate under the guidance of Gov. Evers, year in and year out,” said DOA Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld. “Ending the year with a healthy reserve and record high rainy-day fund positions us well for the future and being able to respond to the needs of the people of Wisconsin.” The full FY 2024 Annual Fiscal Report, which ended on June 30, 2024, is available here, and noteworthy items include:
