Improving Government statistics – Aligning the Public Sector Finances and National Accounts and other developments to public sector statistics

Due to different revision policies public sector data in the Public Sector Finances and general government data transmitted to Eurostat under the Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP) legislation and ESA transmission programme have not been consistent with data published in National Accounts. A project commenced in late 2012 to align these datasets for the period from 1997 to 2007. This article covers works to align central government, local government and public corporation data.
