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.

Sudan's central government deficit reading was −2.81% of GDP in 2025. The period change from −1.58% of GDP in 2024 was −1.24 percentage points. The latest reading was above the selected 10-year average of −4.35% of GDP.
