About this series
The combined government deficit series records the period's fiscal balance under the source's accounting and sign convention. A deficit indicates a shortfall; the series is a flow, not a debt stock. WED's combined-government scope requires source metadata. This series expresses that measure as a percentage of GDP for the matching period.
Afghanistan's combined government deficit reading was −0.89% of GDP in 2025. The period change from −0.55% of GDP in 2024 was −0.34 percentage points. The latest reading was below the selected 10-year average of −0.65% of GDP.
