Government Finance Statistics (GFS) (August 2019 Edition)

The Government Finance Statistics (GFS) contains data for all reporting countries in the framework of the Government Finance Statistics Manual, 2014 (GFSM 2014). The GFSM 2014 classifications remain largely the same as in the GFSM 2001 presentations. However, some tables now include an expanded list of GFS items, where others have dropped some GFS items. Nonetheless, there are no changes in the aggregates and balancing items of the converted data when compared with the GFSM 2001 data. All new data reported in the GFSM 2001 format, as well as historical data in the previous GFS database, have been converted to the GFSM 2014 format.
