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.

In Bangladesh, the combined government deficit reading was −2.93% of GDP in 2025, compared with −3.7% of GDP in 2024. The period change was +0.76 percentage points.
