  1. GENERAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS A new OECD publication (September 2004) OECD Working Party on National Accounts (Paris, 13-15 October 2004)

  2. General Government Accounts • Source of figures: • Tables 200 (Main aggregates of GG), 900 (Tax and social contribution receipts) and 1100 (Expenditure by function – COFOG) • Tables 600 (financial account:flows) and 700 (financial balance sheet: stocks) • Coverage: 29 OECD countries, general government sector (SNA93), including the sub-sectors

  3. General Government Accounts Format of the publication: four tables • Table 1: Summary of aggregates and balances • Table 2: General government account (SNA93 almost full sequence of accounts ) (from table 200 + 600 and 700) • Table 3: Detailed tax and social contribution receipts (from table 900) • Table 4: Expenditure by function (from table 1100)

  5. Transmission of the data on GG Stocktaking on 1 October 2004: • EU countries are rapidly progressing towards comprehensiveness of data - table 1100 still expected from Czech republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia - Table 1100: data by sub-sector missing only from Ireland and Portugal

  6. Transmission of the data on GG Stocktaking on 1 October 2004 (continued): • Non-EU countries: situation is more heterogeneous, from Norway (everything) to Turkey (nothing) - Table 200: real progress (except from New Zealand). Effort still expected for the sub-sectors from Australia, Canada, Korea, Mexico and Switzerland. Problem of timeliness for the United States. - Table 900: in progress, effort expected from Korea and Switzerland - Table 1100: effort from the majority this table is the most demanded by users !

  7. General Government Accounts • Next edition: two main improvements • One page of metadata by country (characteristics of the figures, sources…) • Change of the timing for publishing: from September to mid-November Reason: More accurate and consistent figures are available in the beginning of September (in particular for tables 200 and 900)
