About this series

The central 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. This series expresses that measure as a percentage of GDP for the matching period.

Poland's central government deficit reading was −7.2% of GDP in 2025. The period change from −6.6% of GDP in 2024 was −0.6 percentage points. The latest reading was below the selected 10-year average of −3.83% of GDP.
