“…A surplus or balanced budget could have positive effects on economic performance; Nyathi revealed that the estimated results revealed a negative and significant relationship between budget deficit and economic performance in Zimbabwe (Nyathi & Chivasa, 2021). It is also supported by Florin Oprea that the empirical evidence suggests a positive and significant relationship between some indicators of local budgets and our computed Regional Development Index (Oprea, Onofrei, Paraschiv, & Cojocariu, 2022).…”

The provincial budget for infrastructure tends to decrease because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which leads to the infrastructure provincial government's concerns in forecasting the budget, especially in distributing its budget to infrastructure priority programs such as bridge, road and public need building. This research aims to forecast the budget of North Kalimantan Infrastructures through its economic recovery program from 2023 to 2030 using the least square and index number method. The study found that North Kalimantan Infrastructures' budget forecasting slightly fluctuates to cover its economic recovery program. It is also predicted that the highest increase in budget will be experienced in 2023 because early this year, North Kalimantan launched its national strategic program, KIHI or Indonesia Industrial Green Environment.

“…In the contrary, some econometric estimates that examined the deficit financing and economic growth of different economies including Ghana (Nkrumah, Orkoh, and Owusu, 2016), Vietnam (Van and Sudhipongpracha, 2015;Tung, 2018), Ethiopia (Emana, 2021), Zimbabwe (Nyathi and Chivasa, 2021), India (Sharma and Mittal, 2019;Mohanty, 2020), Bangladesh (Rana and Wahid, 2017), Malaysia (Tan, 2006), Pakistan (Iqbal and Ghani, 2017), and Saudi Arabia (Ghali, 1997) reported that fiscal deficit has a long-term, significantly negative impact on economic growth. The fiscal deficit cannot trigger the economic growth of these countries.…”

The fiscal deficit soared tremendously after Nepal endorsed economic liberalization aftermath of the 1990s democracy. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the effects of fiscal deficit in the economic growth of Nepal. Data from 1980 to 2019 were used to estimate the short- and long-run causal relations of fiscal deficit proxied by total government expenditure minus total government revenue as a percent of gross domestic product (GDP) and growth rate of real GDP as a proxy of economic growth along with other control variables. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) error correction regression and vector error correction model (VECM) Granger causality have employed to meet the purpose of the study. The study reveals that there is short-run statistically significant negative relationship between Nepal's economic growth and the fiscal deficit of the previous year. However, both domestic and foreign loan and economic growth have positive and significant relations in short run. In contrast, the results reveal that there is positive but not significant relationship between the fiscal deficit and the economic growth of Nepal in long run. The Granger causality suggests that fiscal deficit does not Granger cause the economic growth of Nepal. However, economic growth does Granger causes the fiscal deficit in Nepal. Thus, the growth-driven fiscal deficit will be more effective in the economy of Nepal. Based on stylized facts, it will be necessary to redirect deficit financing into productive channels in order to enhance the sustainable economic growth.
