加拿大政府在2025年3月公布了239亿加元的预算赤字,低于2024年3月的336亿加元。这一改善是由收入增加59亿加元(15.2%)推动的,主要是由于企业所得税的征收增加。不包括净精算损失在内的计划支出下降了32亿加元(4.7%),主要是由于向各省、地区和直辖市转移的时间,部分被向个人转移的增加所抵消。公共债务费用下降了3亿加元(6.5%),因为国库券利率下降和交叉货币掉期的净利息超过了可销售债券存量增加的影响。2024-25财年(4月至3月),联邦预算赤字为432亿加元,而前一年为509亿加元。
Canada’s government posted a budget deficit of CAD 23.9 billion in March 2025, down from CAD 33.6 billion in March 2024. The improvement was driven by a CAD 5.9 billion (15.2%) increase in revenues, primarily due to higher corporate income tax collections. Program expenses, excluding net actuarial losses, fell by CAD 3.2 billion (4.7%), largely due to the timing of transfers to provinces, territories, and municipalities, partially offset by increased transfers to individuals. Public debt charges declined by CAD 0.3 billion (6.5%) as lower interest rates on treasury bills and net interest from cross-currency swaps outweighed the impact of a larger stock of marketable bonds. For the full fiscal year 2024–25 (April to March), the federal budget deficit stood at CAD 43.2 billion, compared to CAD 50.9 billion in the previous year.
