About this data
This table presents the full sequence of non-financial accounts for the General Government sector and its sub-sectors from the production account to the capital account. It shows the Expenditure (or Uses) side of the accounts, not including the balancing items, and is designed to be used in conjunction with the tables entitled ‘Annual government non-financial accounts and key indicators (Revenues)’ and ‘Annual government non-financial accounts and key indicators (Balancing items)’. The presentation is on a country-by-country basis. Users are recommended to select one country (or area) at a time in the ‘Reference area’ filter in order to view the full sequence of non-financial accounts. Alternatively, specific lines within the sequence can be selected using the ‘Transaction’ filter to compare this item for combinations of sectors, countries and time periods. It is also possible to select the government sub-sectors – central, local and state (regional) government and social security funds – using the ‘Institutional sector’ filter.These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE12 dataset.
