Government Finance Statistics Yearbook: 2003

This annual publication provides three types of detailed tables for world, country and institutional financial data. World tables enable international comparisons of the structure and relative magnitude of government operations. Country tables present data on central government revenue, grants, expenditure, lending minus repayments, financing and debt. Institutional tables list major units of general government and contain notes on data coverage for country tables. The data for this Yearbook are obtained primarily by means of a detailed questionnaire distributed to government finance statistics correspondents. This volume contains, for the first time, data for all reporting countries presented in the framework of the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2001 (GFSM 2001).
