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 latest combined government deficit reading for Peru was −2.36% of GDP in 2025. The previous reading was −3.53% of GDP in 2024; the period change was +1.17 percentage points. The latest reading was above the selected 10-year average of −2.89% of GDP.
