Fiscal Risk Component Dashboard
Higher component scores indicate more pressure from debt growth, deficit widening, interest burden, near-term supply, or weaker auction demand.
| Component | Score | Latest Read | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debt Growth | 74 | 8.2% | Debt to the Penny YoY |
| Deficit Impulse | 17 | $-95.2B | FYTD deficit widening vs same fiscal-month last year |
| Debt Service | 100 | 22.1% | Gross interest FYTD as % of receipts |
| Supply Pressure | 65 | $674.0B | Announced issuance next 30 days |
| Auction Demand | 45 | -0.01 | Recent bid-to-cover vs full-sample median |
How The Fiscal Risk Score Is Computed
The headline score is the equal-weight average of five 0-100 component scores. A reading near 0 means the component is relatively benign, 50 is mid-range pressure, and 100 is elevated stress. If a component is unavailable, the score averages the available components only.
| Component | Input | Scoring Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debt Growth | Debt to the Penny YoY growth | 3% = low pressure; 10% = high pressure | Higher debt growth raises the score. |
| Deficit Impulse | Current FYTD deficit minus comparable prior-year FYTD deficit | -$250B = easing; +$650B = high pressure | Wider deficits raise the score. |
| Debt Service | Gross interest FYTD as a percent of total receipts FYTD | 8% = low pressure; 22% = high pressure | More revenue absorbed by interest raises the score. |
| Supply Pressure | Announced Treasury issuance over the next 30 days | $250B = low pressure; $900B = high pressure | Larger near-term supply raises the score. |
| Auction Demand | Recent bid-to-cover versus the full-sample type median | -0.45 = weak; +0.35 = strong | This component is inverted, so weaker demand raises the score. |
Operating latest date
The latest date across actual debt, Daily Treasury Statement receipts, Monthly Treasury Statement, average-rate, and GDP inputs. It excludes future maturity dates.
Forward maturity horizon
The farthest maturity date implied by Treasury auction records. This can extend decades into the future and should not be read as latest actual fiscal data.
Receipts and outlays
Monthly Treasury Statement table 3 line items. Amount charts use monthly values; YoY charts compare the same line item against the month one year earlier.
Weekly tax deposits
Daily Treasury Statement deposits aggregated to Friday weeks. This is the high-frequency tax-receipt pulse, including withheld individual/FICA, corporate, and non-withheld taxes.
FYTD YoY
Current fiscal year-to-date value divided by prior fiscal year-to-date value minus one, using Treasury-reported prior FYTD fields where available.
Issuance share
Monthly auction offering amount for each security type divided by total monthly offering amount across Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs.
Debt to GDP
Total public debt outstanding divided by FRED nominal GDP, series GDP, in current dollars at a seasonally adjusted annual rate. Each debt date uses the latest available GDP quarter.
True Interest Expense
Analytic memo line equal to Social Security Administration, Health and Human Services, Defense--Military Programs, and gross interest on Treasury debt. Its share column is shown explicitly as a percent of total receipts.
Social Security trust funds
Official SSA OACT quarterly OASDI data. Trust fund asset reserves are quarter-end levels; rolling 12-month income and cost are trailing four-quarter sums.
Forward estimates
Future issue dates, announced offering amounts, and maturity-wall schedules from Treasury auction data. Running with --refresh repulls these estimates.
Fiscal Risk Score
Composite 0-100 stress read across debt growth, deficit impulse, debt-service burden, announced 30-day supply, and recent auction bid-to-cover quality.
Auction Demand
Bid-to-cover equals total bids received divided by securities awarded. Higher readings usually indicate stronger demand/absorption; weaker readings can flag supply indigestion.
Foreign Demand
Treasury TIC Table 3 supplies country-level Treasury holder history back to 2020. The aggregate official line uses the Fed/FRED custody series as a continuous five-year proxy; the short TIC MFH official memo line is only available for the latest monthly panel.
Foreign Equity Holdings
Treasury TIC SLT Table 1 supplies country-level foreign holdings of U.S. corporate equity, including holdings, net sales, and valuation-change fields. The equity section separates market gains/losses from buyer/seller flow where available.
Expanded Fiscal Policy Monitor Matrix
API-calculated only. Dollar columns in this matrix are denominated in billions ($B). Current fiscal year is annualized from fiscal YTD months starting October 1 and compared with the same fiscal months last year. Share columns avoid nested subtotals; outlays include an All Other residual row so displayed categories reconcile to total outlays. True Interest Expense is an analytic memo line, not a component of the reconciliation totals; its share cells are calculated as a percent of total receipts.
