Fiscal Score
High Risk · Under Stress
Meghalaya's finances are at a high-risk level.
The state is currently spending much more than it earns. This has led to a very high debt level that may be difficult to pay back in the future. The government is currently paying a large portion of its income just as interest on old loans.
