fiscal health

Budget stability status

Fiscal health describes the financial soundness of an organization, government, or system—its ability to meet obligations, maintain operations, and remain solvent over time.

Indicators include balanced budgets, manageable debt levels, and adequate reserves: The city's fiscal health has improved since the pension reforms.

The phrase appears most often in discussions of government finance and institutional stability.
