Overview

Methodological Notes

  • Fiscal position data is sourced mainly from the IMF, with adjustments for national budget laws. These are estimates that refer to the the current year, therefore might be very different from a trailing calculation using the national accounts.

  • Govt Balance PGDP (overall balance) includes interest payments.

  • The Primary Balance (line below) excludes interest payments. Primary Debt Neutral is the level of the primary balance consistent with stabilizing the debt-to-GDP ratio. It accounts for a medium-term GDP growth rate.

  • Excess Primary is the gap between the actual primary balance and the debt-neutral level (i.e., the fiscal buffer or shortfall).

You can crosscheck these numbers with the IMF with their datamapper tool. For example: New Zealand
