Important information: Important information: Negative values represent budget deficits. A higher, less-negative value represents a smaller deficit. For example, −4.0% is above −5.0%. “General government net lending/borrowing” is calculated as government revenue minus total expenditure. A negative value represents net borrowing, or a deficit, while a positive value represents net lending, or a surplus. This IMF measure may differ from budget-balance figures published by national authorities because of differences in government coverage, accounting methods or reporting periods. Only the value reported by the IMF for the applicable country and year will be used. The market will use the value initially published for the applicable country and year in the April 2027 edition of the IMF World Economic Outlook database, regardless of any subsequent revisions or updates. For countries whose government-finance data are presented by the IMF on a fiscal-year basis, the applicable period is the fiscal year identified by the IMF for that year.
