Fiscal Balance workspace

Fiscal balance, % of GDP — deficit or surplus for the same economies as the Sovereign Debt board, row for row, IMF WEO; the flow that builds the debt stock

Use it when: The flow that builds the debt stock — deficit or surplus, same economies as the Sovereign Debt board.

The flow behind the debt stock, on the same multi-year horizon. Read it with the Sovereign Debt board, not before a session.

• Preset strip under the menu bar — one click applies the whole layout. A checkmark tracks which preset is active.
• Or ask for it: show me the fiscal balance.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything missing is one add <name> away.

• 1. The deficit row, then compare each economy against its own history rather than against its peers.

The tell: A deficit that is stable as a share of GDP is sustainable almost regardless of level. One that is widening in a growth year is not.

This desk is built from dense sheet panels rather than individual tiles — see below.

Plus 1 dense sheet — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• fiscal Balance Board

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• What actually moves ES and NQ

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
