includes government spending of funds raised from taxes, government funds and general bond issuance. **Actual deficit = fiscal revenues – fiscal expenditures. Budget
deficit = actual deficit adjusted with the fiscal stability fund. Augmented deficit is an estimate of all the fiscal resources used by the government to support economic growth,
i.e. fiscal balance plus investment via local government financing vehicles, policy banks and other channels. *** Year-to-date 2022 data refers to the period 01/01/22 to

ordering a chip and delivery and is only available until 30/09/22. The output, input prices and supplier delivery time of developed markets and EM Asia are measured using
the corresponding manufacturing PMI sub-indices.

**Green signifies lower input prices as the impact of input cost pressures has eased.
***Green signifies shorter supplier delivery time.

December 2022, where real yields are calculated by subtracting November 2022 year-over-year core inflation. **Real yield calculated using 10-year breakeven, which
