Government; revenue and expenditure 1969-2013

This table contains data on the revenue and expenditure, the balance of claims and the operating balance of the general government sector. In addition, some additional data on income and expenditure are presented (memorandum items). The terms used are in line with the National Accounts. The National Accounts are based on the international definitions of the European System of Accounts (ESA 1995). To increase the accessibility of the table, in some cases common definitions of income and expenditure categories are used instead of the terms from the National Accounts. The relevant National Accounts term is then mentioned in the notes. The data presented corresponds to the publications on the National Accounts. The data in this table have been consolidated, i.e. the elimination of flows between them. As a result, the expenditure and revenues of the subsectors do not add up to the total expenditure and revenue of the general government. Payments from, for example, the empire to the municipalities are part of the government’s expenditure and the income of municipalities. They do not count for the expenditure and revenue of the general government, because they are payments from the government to the government. Data available from: Annual data from 1969 to 2013, quarterly data from 2005 to 2013. Status of the figures: The figures from 1969 in this table are final. The most recent years and quarters still have a (further) provisional character. As this table has been discontinued, the data will no longer be definitive. Changes as of 25 June 2014: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable. This table is followed by Government; income and expenses. See paragraph 3.
