About this series

General government net lending/borrowing (% of GDP) (IMF WEO, GGXCNL_NGDP). DataMapper does not flag projections — years above the WEO “actual” cap are dropped (from October: calendar year − 1; before October: year − 2), so the chart shows no forecasts.

Indicator definition

Revenue minus expenditure of the whole general government sector relative to GDP; a negative value is a deficit. Compare with Government surplus or deficit (Eurostat).

How to read the data

Persistent deficits raise debt General government debt (IMF); compare the two IMF series.
