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.
