This table shows the evolution of the balance and debt of the
government (also known as EMU balance or EMU debt)
The Netherlands. This table gives the annual estimates of the government,
broken down by contribution per subsector of the government. The
government debt is specified by debt title: currency,
short-term securities, bonds, short-term loans, long-term securities
loans.
The government balance and public debt are within the European Union the
key indicators for the health of public finances. In
the Maastricht Treaty and the resulting growth and
Stability pact stipulates that every six months Member States have the data
on the balance and debt of their government must report to the
The European Commission. It is stated that a deficit does not exceed 3
percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) and debt
no more than 60 % of GDP. If the standards are exceeded
and there are no particular circumstances behind this,
The European Commission imposes sanctions. The figures are in line with the
system of National Accounts.

subsectors of the general government, in this table, the contribution to the
consolidated public debt is represented. The contribution of a subsector

of this subsector minus the claims on the other levels of government.
As a result, the debt figures presented in this publication count the
subsectors up to the debt of the general government as a whole.
