CBO-Monthly Budget Review: Summary for Fiscal Year 2022
November 8, 2022--In fiscal year 2022, the federal deficit totaled nearly $1.4 trillion. That deficit was equal to 5.5 percent of GDP, down from 12.3 percent in 2021, but still larger than the 4.6 percent recorded in 2019-the most recent year not affected by the pandemic.
Summary
In fiscal year 2022, which ended on September 30, the federal budget deficit totaled nearly $1.4 trillion.
The marked decline in the deficit from the previous year reflected waning spending in response to the coronavirus pandemic and increased revenues driven by higher inflation and the continued recovery of economic activity.
In 2022, the deficit was equal to 5.5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP), down from 12.3 percent in 2021, but still larger than the 4.6 percent recorded in 2019-the most recent year not affected by the pandemic. The 2022 deficit was the third largest as a percentage of GDP over the past decade and greater than the 50-year average of 3.6 percent.

OECD-Latin America and the Caribbean: The green transition can be an economic and social game changer, says new report
November 7, 2022-- Climate change could significantly worsen long-term economic prospects and exacerbate inequalities in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC). It is urgent to advance towards an ambitious and comprehensive green agenda to address its consequences and improve well-being for all.
An effective green transition in LAC could potentially add 10.5% more new jobs by 2030, says the Latin American Economic Outlook (LEO) 2022: Towards a green and just transition, presented today on the side-lines of COP27 in Sharm El-Sheik.
According to the 15th edition of the report, this year's economic slowdown, an unstable international context hit by Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, increased inflationary pressures and reduced macroeconomic policy space make it harder for LAC economies to resume a path to sustainable growth and to protect the most vulnerable. For example, it is estimated that in 2022 vulnerable households in LAC faced an average price increase of 3.6 percentage points higher than the nationally representative household.

Domestic and external financial conditions tightened in the past year, while near-term growth prospects for the U.S., Mexico's main trading partner, have weakened.
The risks of capital outflows have risen. These new challenges compound Mexico's long-standing problems of low growth and high inequality.
