- 103. Current expenses exceed the amount of income collected via normal operations in circumstances where a budget deficit is discovered. A country that want to reduce its budget deficit may need to reduce particular spending, expand revenue-generating activities, or do both. A budget surplus is the polar opposite of a budget deficit. When revenue exceeds current expenses, a surplus occurs, resulting in funds that can be allocated as desired. A balanced budget is one in which the inflows and outflows are equal. Few industrialised countries had major fiscal deficits in the early twentieth century; nevertheless, deficits rose during the First World War as governments borrowed heavily and exhausted financial reserves to finance the war and their growth. These wartime and growth deficits persisted into the 1960s and 1970s, when global growth rates began to slow.
