The recession that started in 2008 caused a sharp deterioration of the budget balance of many developed countries, not only as a result of discretionary policies but also due to the loss of revenue caused by the decline in gross domestic product. The latter effect should have been captured by the cyclically adjusted budget balance, but certain methodological limitations prevented this from occurring. Consequently, in this article we raise the need to include asset revaluation in the calculation of the cyclically
adjusted budget balance. To do this, we estimate a structural budget balance for Spain in the years prior to the sub-prime crisis that includes residential investment as an explanatory variable. This estimate shows that by 2004 the fiscal situation in Spain was already tenuous, but this fragility was hidden by the extraordinary revenue from the real estate bubble.
