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 Colombia, the combined government deficit reading was −5.75% of GDP in 2025, compared with −6.04% of GDP in 2024. The period change was +0.29 percentage points. The latest reading was below the selected 10-year average of −4.84% of GDP.
