Global fiscal snapshot
Summary indicators across monitored economies.
Aggregate sovereign debt across monitored economies has climbed for the eighth consecutive year.
Average deficits remain wider than pre-pandemic averages on defense and interest costs.
Revenues are rising on nominal growth and stronger corporate tax receipts in services-led economies.
Spending growth still outpaces revenue, driven by defense, social transfers and rising interest bills.
Average interest expense has reached its highest share of revenue in two decades.
Short-dated maturities remain manageable, but front-loaded calendars raise rollover sensitivity.
Primary surpluses and lower interest costs continue to support consolidation.
Higher net interest expense and defense outlays widened the federal deficit.
