The Government Financial Accounts show net acquisition of financial assets (or changes in assets) during the period, net incurrence of financial liabilities (or changes in liabilities) during the period, and net financial transactions (or changes in the net position: financial assets minus financial liabilities) during the period for the general government (S13) and its subsectors. This table shows the Financial Accounts on a consolidated basis, which means that flows between units within the same sector or subsector have been removed, so that the accounts only reflect flows vis-à-vis other (sub)sectors.
In this table, 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. The default view of the table is for the general government (S13), but you can use the ‘Institutional sector’ filter to select the related subsectors such as Central government, State government, Local government or Social security funds. For each sector, the table presents breakdowns by financial instrument, for example currency and deposits, debt securities, loans, equity and investment fund shares, insurance and pensions. Users can also choose to compare a single financial instrument, such as listed shares, for several countries.
Users should note that some countries do not produce consolidated accounts for all sectors.
