government finances; 1900-2018

This table shows the central government's administrative expenditure, receipts and debts as included in the central government's annual financial report, which is published annually in May. The annual expenditure data presented are divided into a number of budget chapters (ministries and budget funds). Mutual cash flows within a budget chapter or between different budget chapters are not consolidated in administrative expenditure and revenue. The figures therefore deviate from the figures included in the National Accounts. The National accounts are based on the international definitions of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). The debt data presented relates to debt levels at the end of the year. Data available from 1900 to 2018. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of February 20, 2020: None, this table has been discontinued. When will new numbers come out? Not applicable anymore.
