From January 2022 onwards, balance of central government finances will be presented on the basis of the revised elimination procedure introduced in 2020. The calculation comprises the eliminated calculation of central government agencies, eliminated calculation of off-budget entities and the combined eliminations of the two. The elimination covers the impacts of income and expenses and mutual receivables and debts.
The report consists of six tables the first of which shows revenue exclusive investments, expenditure exclusive investments, and (as the difference between them) revenue surplus or deficit. The next tables present financing requirement (-), net change in debt and change in liquid assets. The figures in the report are presented with an accuracy of one million euros.
The first column presents the eliminated accumulation for central government finances from the start of the year. The next column shows the corresponding accumulation in the same period a year before. The two last columns show change in central government finances year on year, in euros and percentage terms.
