CBO-Monthly Budget Review: August 2023

September 11, 2023--Summary
The federal budget deficit was $1.5 trillion in the first 11 months of fiscal year 2023, the Congressional Budget Office estimates-$0.6 trillion more than the shortfall recorded during the same period last year.

Revenues were 10 percent lower and outlays were 3 percent higher from October through August than they were during the same period in fiscal year 2022.

Outlays in fiscal year 2023 were reduced by the shifting of certain payments-totaling $63 billion-from October 1, 2022 (the first day of fiscal year 2023), into fiscal year 2022 because October 1 fell on a weekend. If not for those shifts, the deficit through August would have been $1.6 trillion.
