Title: Cash surplus/deficit (% of GDP) for Costa Rica Series ID: CASHBLCRA188A Source: World Bank Release: World Development Indicators (Not a Press Release) Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Annual Units: Percent of GDP Date Range: 1973-01-01 to 2014-01-01 Last Updated: 2018-09-27 1:32 PM CDT Notes: Cash surplus or deficit is revenue (including grants) minus expense, minus net acquisition of nonfinancial assets. In the 1986 GFS manual nonfinancial assets were included under revenue and expenditure in gross terms. This cash surplus or deficit is closest to the earlier overall budget balance (still missing is lending minus repayments, which are now a financing item under net acquisition of financial assets).
