Projected fiscal balance in relation to GDP in East Africa 2020-2023

The projected fiscal balance in East Africa was estimated at minus 6.5 percent of the region's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2021. It might worsen from minus 5.9 percent of GDP in the previous year. According to the source, this deterioration could be in part related to an increase in imports as trade corridors reopen after the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

2021年，东非地区的预期财政赤字预计达到占该区域国内生产总值（GDP）负6.5%的水平。与前一年相比，该赤字可能进一步恶化，从占GDP负5.9%的水平加剧。据来源指出，这一恶化部分原因可能与在冠状病毒（COVID-19）危机之后贸易走廊重新开放所导致的进口增加有关。
