In April 2020, projections for the global fiscal balance showed that the impact of the coronavirus outbreak would cause a deficit equal to 9.9 percent of the cumulative GDP. By June 2020, that deficit was predicted to have increased to 13.9 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.
