About this series
The central 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. This series expresses that measure as a percentage of GDP for the matching period.
Argentina's central government deficit reading was 0.63% of GDP in 2025. The period change from −0.54% of GDP in 2024 was +1.16 percentage points. The latest reading was above the selected 10-year average of −5.11% of GDP.
