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 Finland, the combined government deficit reading was −3.9% of GDP in 2025, compared with −4.3% of GDP in 2024. The period change was +0.4 percentage points. The latest reading was below the selected 10-year average of −2.36% of GDP.
