About this series

The general 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.

In Thailand, the general government deficit reading was −1.72% of GDP in 2025, compared with −1.29% of GDP in 2024. The period change was −0.43 percentage points. The latest reading was above the selected 10-year average of −2.02% of GDP.
