In 2012, the fiscal balances of the region’s countries deteriorated relative to 2011, mainly because of public spending growth. In Latin America, primary balances (before interest payments on the public debt) averaged a deficit of 0.3 percentage points of GDP, as compared to a surplus of 0.2 percentage points in 2011, while overall balances (including interest payments) yielded a negative result of 2 percentage points of regional GDP (see table II.1 and the statistical annex).
