About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually (with quarterly advance estimates in some economies), subject to revision with the national accounts.
What it is
Bolivia's government deficit is the negative balance of the public accounts when spending exceeds revenue in a given year; when revenue exceeds spending there is a surplus. It is usually expressed as a percentage of GDP.
How it's calculated
It is computed as the difference between public-sector revenue and expenditure over the period, following the official fiscal accounts and IMF public-finance standards, with the result expressed relative to GDP. It is an annual figure.
Market implications
The deficit drives the government's borrowing needs and the path of public debt. In Bolivia, an economy heavily reliant on hydrocarbon revenue, it is a key benchmark for fiscal sustainability and for pressure on reserves and the exchange rate.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure subject to revision. It is worth distinguishing the overall balance from the primary balance, which excludes debt interest, and from the cyclical and commodity-price-driven components.
