''Central government finance''.

A country's primary surplus is the component of the fiscal surplus that is comprised of current government spending less current income from taxes, and excludes interest paid on government debt.

If a country has larger levels of income relative to current spending, it is said to have a primary surplus. If it has larger levels of current spending relative to income, it is said to have a primary deficit.
