CBO-Monthly Budget Review: April 2021

May 10, 2021--The federal budget deficit was $1.9 trillion in the first seven months of fiscal year 2021, the Congressional Budget Office estimates-$449 billion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last year.

Outlays were 22 percent higher and revenues were 16 percent higher from October through April than during the same period in fiscal year 2020. Most of the increases in 2021 arose from spending for refundable tax credits (particularly recovery rebates), unemployment compensation, and the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program.

Largely because of the federal government's response to the coronavirus pandemic, the deficits recorded during the first seven months of both 2020 and 2021 are significantly larger than the deficit recorded during the same period in 2019, which totaled $531 billion.
