A budget combines expected government revenues, spending and financing for a stated period. A deficit is the gap between spending and revenues over that period, while debt measures the outstanding obligations at a particular date. Issuing bonds, drawing balances and receiving central-bank financing have different channels and constraints. Oil revenue depends on realised volume, price, collection and conversion, not a benchmark price alone. A proposed budget, enacted law and actual execution are separate evidence. Fiscal pressure can influence rates, demand and expectations, but its market effect depends on how the gap is financed and how policy responds.

Worked example (hypothetical)

Revenues of 900 and spending of 1,100 units imply a 200-unit deficit. Financing 150 with bonds still leaves 50 to explain; it does not prove that the remaining 50 was created as money.

Check your understanding

Which document establishes actual spending? Execution accounts for the period, rather than the initial proposal alone.
