Methodological note
Capacity (+) or need (-) for public administration sector finance as a percentage of GDPmp.
The capacity or need for public administration sector finance is the difference between non financial income and expenditure under terms of national accounts. The regulations and criteria used for the calculation of the capacity or need for finance are those defined by the European system of accounts (ESA) and specified in the "Manual on Government Deficit and Debt - Implementation of ESA 2010" produced by EUROSTAT.
According to the ESA, the public administration sector is the format for all publicly owned institutional units (according to control criteria) that are considered non market producers (i.e. with sales income lower than 50% of production costs).
The Gross Domestic Product at market prices (GDP mp) is the value at market prices of the total production of the economy's goods and services, excluding intermediate consumption and including net taxes on production and imports.
