Data are on a national income accounts basis. The structural budget position is defined as the actual budget deficit (or surplus) less the effects of cyclical deviations of output from potential output. Because of the margin of uncertainty that attaches to estimates of cyclical gaps and to tax and expenditure elasticities with respect to national income, indicators of structural budget positions should be interpreted as broad orders of magnitude. Source: Ministry of Finance or Treasury Latest actual data: 2015 Notes: Fiscal data are on a calendar year basis. Fiscal assumptions: Projections use the baseline forecasts in the Update of Economic and Fiscal Projections (November 2015), Backgrounder Canadian Economic Outlook (February 2016), 2015 provincial budget updates, and 2016 provincial budgets as available. The IMF staff makes some adjustments to this forecast for differences in macroeconomic projections. The IMF staff forecast also incorporates the most recent data releases from Statistics Canada?s Canadian System of National Economic Accounts, including federal, provincial, and territorial budgetary outturns through the end of 2015.
