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.

The combined government deficit reading for Nicaragua was 2.1% of GDP in 2025. The previous reading was 2.25% of GDP in 2024; the period change was −0.15 percentage points.
