fiscal emergency

Government money crisis

A fiscal emergency is a severe financial crisis, typically declared by a government when revenues fall drastically short of obligations.

The declaration often triggers special powers—spending cuts, hiring freezes, or emergency borrowing—that wouldn't be available under normal circumstances: The governor declared a fiscal emergency after tax revenues collapsed.
