Treasurer Jim Chalmers has said the government's request to federal departments and agencies to find further efficiencies is "not unusual or controversial."
Yesterday, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher did not dispute a report in the Australian Financial Review that the public service would need to find savings of as much as five per cent in a year.
It comes as economists are waiting for fresh inflation data to be published later today.
