Question
In the Union Budget 2026-27, the government transitioned
toward a new fiscal consolidated path. If the nominal GDP growth is projected at 10.5% and the Fiscal Deficit is targeted at 4.3%, what is the implied "Primary Deficit" if interest payments account for 3.1% of GDP?Solution
The Primary Deficit is calculated as: Fiscal Deficit - Interest Payments. Given a Fiscal Deficit of 4.3% and Interest Payments of 3.1%, the Primary Deficit = 4.3% - 3.1% = 1.2%. This metric is critical as it shows the government's fiscal stance excluding the burden of past debt.
