US Posts 2nd Largest Budget Gap on Record in FY 2021
In the 2021 fiscal year, the US budget deficit reached $2.772 trillion, the second-highest on record, compared with the $3.132 trillion reported in 2020. Receipts jumped 18.3% to $4.046 trillion, amid higher individual and business income taxes from a recovering economy; while outlays rose 4.1% to $6.818 trillion due to continued spending to counteract the devastating effects of the global pandemic. The massive deficits in both years were only surpassed by a shortfall of $1.4 trillion in 2009 during the Obama administration, amid higher spending to lift the country out of a severe recession following the 2008 financial crisis. In September only, the budget deficit hit USD 62 billion, the fiscal year's final month, compared with a USD 125 billion shortfall a year ago and market expectations of a USD 60 billion gap. That was the smallest budget gap since January of 2020, as receipts grew 23.1% to $460 billion while outlays increased only 4.7% to $521 billion.
