U.S. posts record $711 billion deficit for first three months of fiscal 2025

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. government posted an $87 billion budget deficit in December, reduced partly by a shift of benefit payments into November but capping a record $711 billion deficit for the first three months of the 2025 fiscal year, the U.S. Treasury Department said on Tuesday.

The Treasury, releasing its final budget report before President-elect Donald Trump takes office next week, said that the $711 billion October-December deficit was $201 billion, or 39% higher, than the $510 billion deficit in the same period a year earlier as outlays grew sharply and revenues declined slightly.

For December, the $87 billion deficit was reduced by $51 billion by the calendar benefit shift, and compared to a $129 billion deficit in December 2023. Receipts for the month were up 6% to $454 billion, while outlays as reported were down 3% to $541 billion.
