             Monthly Budget Review for June 2020


The federal budget deficit in June 2020 was $863 billion, compared with a deficit of $8 billion in the same
month last year, CBO estimates. That increase stems from the economic disruption caused by the
2020 coronavirus pandemic and from the federal government's response to it, including actions by the
Administration and the enactment of four pieces of legislation.' Outlays by the Small Business
Administration-which oversees the recently established Paycheck Protection Program-contributed
significantly to the June deficit this year, accounting for almost half of the government's spending.

In 2019, some federal payments were shifted from June to May because June 1 fell on a weekend; no such
shift occurred this June. If not for those shifts in the timing of payments, the deficit in June 2020 would
have been $805 billion more than the deficit last June, CBO estimates.

The federal budget deficit was $2.7 trillion in the first nine months of fiscal year 2020, CBO estimates,
$2.0 trillion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last year (see Figure 1). Revenues were
13 percent lower and outlays were 49 percent higher through June 2020 than during the same nine-month
period in fiscal year 2019.
