In a political bear pit, George Osborne was expected to deliver a budget that would show sound fiscal management, provide an economic bounce and avoid the criticism of simply using budget as pre-election bribes to win votes. It was a tough ask.
The hard work and sacrifices of the British people has paid off. The original debt target I set out in my first budget has been met. We will end this parliament with Britain's national debt share falling. The sun is starting to shine - and we are fixing the roof.
Budget highlights include - tax cuts, a pledge to crack down on tax evasion and avoidance and a prediction for GDP growth at 2.5% for 2015
The Chancellor, George Osborne, will be hoping that his final budget for this Parliament can provide a kind of feel good factor that it might be able to drum up support for the Conservative is in one of the tightest elections in a generation
With some 50 days before the elections and the Chancellor fighting for his political life, will this budget prove to be a be a winner?
With millions suffering the pain of five years of austerity, has the Chancellor done enough to win them over or will May 7 prove to be his undoing?
