In nominal terms, Maastricht debt reached HUF 25.394 trillion at the end of December, rising HUF 880 billion from the end of Q4 2014.
The debt ratio was revised down from 75.5% in the first reading published on February 17. The downward revision reflected the higher nominal GDP as nominal debt was up just HUF 1 bln from the preliminary figure.
The net government financing requirement, which is a good approximation of the government deficit, was HUF 633 bln in 2015, equal to 1.9% of GDP.
The figures were revised up slightly, by HUF 16 bln or 0.1 of a percentage point of GDP from the preliminary ratio published on February 17.
