Government finance

Government finances offer important information regarding the economic status of a country, within it about the general government sector. As a main rule in the European Union member countries the government sector deficit may be 3% of the GDP at most; government debt ratio maximum 60% of the deficit. In case these conditions - the conditions for introducing the Euro also - are not met by a member state the excessive deficit procedure is launched against that state. Statistics regarding the government sector offer, beside deficit and debt related data, information about sums of revenue and expenditure as well as about their content.

According to Council Directive (EU) 2024/1265 of 29 April 2024 amending Directive 2011/85/EU on requirements for budgetary frameworks of the Member States, Member States should publish quarterly deficit and debt data calculated in the manner defined in the European System of Integrated National Accounts. Deficit data are generated as a result of HCSO’s compiling quarterly non-financial accounts for the general government, and the source of debt data is data from the financial account compiled by NBH.
