  • Congressional Budget Office

Abstract

CBO projects a federal budget deficit of $3.3 trillion in 2020, more than triple the shortfall recorded in 2019, mostly because of the economic disruption caused by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and the enactment of legislation in response. At 16.0 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), the deficit in 2020 would be the largest since 1945. In CBO’s projections, the average deficit over the 2021–2030 period is 2 percentage points more than annual deficits have averaged over the past 50 years.
