About this indicator

International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually (with quarterly advance estimates in some economies), subject to revision with the national accounts.
What it is
Indonesia's government budget balance is the shortfall in the state budget (APBN) when spending exceeds revenue over the fiscal year; when revenue exceeds spending there is a surplus. Published by the Ministry of Finance, it is usually expressed as a percentage of GDP.
How it's calculated
It is the difference between central government revenue and spending over the period, scaled against GDP to obtain the ratio. The figures are annual, with partial in-year budget outturns released through the fiscal year.
Market implications
The deficit drives Indonesia's borrowing needs and the trajectory of public debt. The country enforces a statutory deficit ceiling of 3% of GDP, so compliance is closely watched by bond investors, the rupiah and the rating agencies.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure subject to revision. It is worth distinguishing the headline balance from the primary balance, which excludes debt interest, and weighing the role of energy subsidies, highly sensitive to oil prices, in overall spending.
