About this series

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 South Sudan was 3.45% of GDP in 2025. The previous reading was 11.5% of GDP in 2024; the period change was −8.07 percentage points.
