Latest actual data: FY2019/20
Notes: All fiscal and debt series data in WEO are on fiscal year basis.
Fiscal assumptions: Revenue projection is driven by nominal GDP with the elasticity higher than 1 due to "recovery" from the crises (Hurricane Dorian and Covid-19 pandemic). Expenditure projection is based on the budget and additional expenditure measures. The FY2019/20 fiscal outturn is IMF staff's estimate based on the authorities' published data. Because of classification differences, total expenditure and the overall deficit for FY2019/20 are smaller than the authorities' estimates.
