Government Finance Statistics Yearbook 2001

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 for 132 countries. 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.
