Correct Answer: Increase by 100%


Solution : The correct option is Increase by 100%.

If both the primary deficit and interest payments are doubled, the change in the fiscal deficit would depend on their initial values and the magnitude of the change.

Change in fiscal deficit = (new primary deficit - old primary deficit) + (new interest payments - old interest payments).
