Notes
Central government debt 67.8% of GDP, up from 64.5% in FY2024. Public sector debt reached 84.2% of GDP in FY2025 (from 81.8% in FY2024). IMF staff project an overall fiscal deficit of 5.0% of GDP in FY2026; meeting the authorities’ 2.2% balance target would require additional measures of roughly 2.8% of GDP. The non-energy central government primary deficit widened from 14.2% of non-energy GDP in FY2024 to 14.9% in FY2025. The single-year overall primary balance is pending the staff report and is therefore not stated here.
