மொத்த வரவு-செலவுச் சமநிலை (GDP %) வரைவு மொழிபெயர்ப்பு

The budget balance was -4.2 % of GDP in 2026, -1.9 % of GDP compared with a year earlier. Current status: கவனம். Healthy range: The EU uses a 3% of GDP deficit reference. Here a deficit smaller than 3% is Good, 3–6% Watch, larger than 6% Concern (indicative).

The overall balance is government revenue minus total spending (including interest), as a share of GDP. Formula: (revenue − expenditure) ÷ GDP × 100. Negative = deficit, positive = surplus.

If the government collects Rs 16 and spends Rs 20 for every Rs 100 of GDP, the balance is −4% of GDP: Rs 4 must be borrowed.

A balance near zero or in surplus stops debt from growing and builds credibility with lenders.

Large deficits (beyond 5–6% of GDP) pile up debt and interest costs; Sri Lanka ran deficits above 10% of GDP in 2020–22.

The EU uses a 3% of GDP deficit reference. Here a deficit smaller than 3% is Good, 3–6% Watch, larger than 6% Concern (indicative).

EU 3% deficit reference; IMF fiscal-sustainability practice.

The deficit is the main driver of new borrowing and of the debt burden.
