Government; revenue and expenditure 1995-2017

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 2010). 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. There may be minor temporary differences with the publications of the National Accounts due to the fact that the published figures of the government accounts are sometimes more current. 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 figures from 1995 to 2017, quarterly figures from 1999 to 2017. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are definitive for the period 1995-2014. The quarters of 2015 have the status for now. The 2015 annual figures are final. The 2016 and 2017 figures have the status for now.
