Overview
North Macedonia's government revenue stood at 33.90% in 2025, a rise of +1.62% from 2024. The IMF projects 33.90% by 2025. North Macedonia ranked 60th globally.
North Macedonia’s government revenue as a share of GDP has risen modestly over the 29‑year span from 31.91 percent in 1997 to 33.90 percent in 2025, placing the country 60th globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2003 at 35.93 percent before a pronounced decline to a trough of 27.52 percent in 2014, reflecting the fiscal strain of the global financial crisis and domestic adjustments. Since the trough, revenue has recovered steadily, though it remains below the 2003 high and only slightly above the 1997 level. Compared with peer economies of similar ranking, North Macedonia’s 2025 figure is marginally lower than Namibia’s 34.09 percent and Seychelles’ 34.21 percent, but higher than Vanuatu’s 33.00 percent, indicating a middle‑of‑the‑road performance among small‑state peers. Continued structural reforms and diversified tax bases could sustain the gradual rise, while external shocks or fiscal consolidation would be needed to reverse the modest upward trend.
