In April 2020, projections for the fiscal balance of advanced economic countries showed that the impact of the coronavirus outbreak would cause a deficit equal to 10.7 percent of the cumulative GDP. By June 2020, that deficit was predicted to have increased to 16.6 percent of the GDP. Measuring the balance as a percent of GDP shows a nations ability to meet its financial needs. A negative value shows that a country's expenditures will outnumber its revenues, creating a deficit.
