Record Surplus in September

The 198 billion dollars surplus recorded in September highlights a significant increase in the financial performance of the U.S. This record level of surplus is largely driven by revenue growth supported by an increase in import tariffs.

However, the federal government's net interest payments were recorded as the fourth highest outflow in September. This figure follows other major expenditure items such as Social Security, healthcare, and defense.
