## Executive Summary
New federal data reveals the U.S. budget deficit has reached $1.4 trillion during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026.

## Intelligence Brief
The Congressional Budget Office reports that federal borrowing has averaged $155 billion per month throughout the current fiscal year. Total budget deficits for the first nine months of 2026 stand at $1.4 trillion, marking a $35 billion increase compared to the same period in 2025.


Coverage from the Congressional Budget Office, The Fiscal Times, Sierra Sun Times, Fortune, and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget highlights these figures. Reports emphasize both the monthly borrowing pace and the accumulation of the deficit through June 2026.


The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget notes that the 12-month rolling deficit has reached $1.8 trillion. Future updates will track whether this trajectory persists through the remainder of the fiscal year.
